Sei partners with Xiaomi: New devices will come pre-installed with Web3 Apps to promote stablecoin payment systems
On December 10, Sei announced a major partnership with global consumer electronics giant Xiaomi: future Xiaomi smartphones, excluding mainland China and the US, will come pre-installed with Sei's next-generation crypto wallet and app discovery platform, and plans are in place to launch stablecoin payment functionality across Xiaomi's global retail network.
• Pre-installed Apps: Support for one-click login via Google/Xiaomi ID, built-in MPC wallet security, access to popular DApps, P2P transfers, and C2B payment capabilities.
• Priority Markets: Mature crypto adoption regions such as Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa; Xiaomi holds a dominant position in Greece (36.9%) and India (24.2%).
• Payment System Planning: Developing stablecoin (e.g., USDC) payment features, expected to launch in Hong Kong and the EU by Q2 2026, with gradual expansion into more compliant markets.
• Xiaomi Influence: In 2024, Xiaomi will sell 168 million phones globally, capturing a market share of 13%, remaining among the top three worldwide. Pre-installed apps will be on all new devices and pushed to existing users.
Sei believes this move will shift crypto from "users actively seeking" to "automatic user reach," leveraging sub-second finality and high TPS, enabling large-scale consumer Web3 applications to take root. $SEI
