An even more exciting aspect is the physical payment layer. Both parties have initiated a stablecoin payment system development plan, expected to launch in Hong Kong and the EU market as early as Q2 2026, with gradual expansion to other compliant regions in the future. Looking ahead, when consumers visit over 20,000 Xiaomi stores worldwide or shop on official websites, they can directly use Sei’s native stablecoins such as USDC to purchase smartphones, tablets, electric vehicles, and smart home appliances. The initial pre-installation will prioritize markets with high Xiaomi market share and greater acceptance of crypto, including Europe (Greece 36.9%), India (24.2%), Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. Sei also added that Xiaomi shipped 168 million units globally in 2024, holding a 13% market share, ranking among the top three worldwide. This means Sei has gained a direct channel to hundreds of millions of mainstream users, far exceeding the active user count of any current crypto wallet or exchange. Sei Launches $5 Million “Global Mobile Innovation Program” To further encourage developers to create mobile scenarios, Sei has also launched a $5 million “Global Mobile Innovation Program” dedicated to funding blockchain application development natively on Xiaomi phones. Sei co-founder Jeff Feng stated in the announcement: “Our partnership with Xiaomi is not just about solving the ‘how to onboard users,’ but about bringing Web3 directly into devices and daily life scenarios that users already use.” Another co-founder, Jay Jog, emphasized: “We are moving from a world where ‘you have to go find crypto’ to an era where ‘crypto finds you.’” Related Reports: Is Sei’s on-chain detective also the “Rug Master”?
