Blockchain Sei announces partnership with China’s mobile giant Xiaomi (XiaoMi), with new Xiaomi smartphones sold outside China and the US pre-installed with Sei’s cryptocurrency wallet and application. The stablecoin payment function is expected to launch in the EU, Hong Kong, and other countries with stablecoin regulations as early as Q2 next year, enabling future purchases of Xiaomi smartphones and electric vehicles using stablecoins.
New Xiaomi smartphones will have Sei cryptocurrency wallets built-in
According to the partnership announcement, Sei’s cryptocurrency wallet will be pre-installed on all new Xiaomi smartphones sold outside mainland China and the US. The initial rollout will prioritize regions with higher acceptance of cryptocurrencies, including Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa, where Xiaomi has a significant market share. This collaboration will provide millions of people with their first entry point into cryptocurrencies, especially in Xiaomi-dominated markets like Greece (36.9%) and India (24.2%).
According to Xiaomi’s official data, in Q2 2025, Xiaomi shipped 42.4 million units, ranking among the top three globally with a market share of 14.7%. It ranks first in Southeast Asia with an 18.9% market share. It ranks second in Europe with a 23.4% market share. In the Middle East and Latin America, it remains stable in second place with market shares of 18.7% and 19.6%; in Africa, it ranks third with a market share of 14.4%.
As early as Q2 2026, Xiaomi electric vehicles can be purchased with stablecoins in Hong Kong
Sei’s developed application will be integrated into Xiaomi’s extensive ecosystem. After development is completed, both parties plan to introduce stablecoin payments at Xiaomi’s mobile ecosystem and over 20,000 global retail locations, including native stablecoins like USDC on Sei. The upcoming application will feature an MPC (multi-party computation) wallet to enhance security, offering access to decentralized applications (dApps), peer-to-peer (P2P) transfers, and consumer-to-business (C2B) payments.
The stablecoin payment feature is expected to be launched in markets with stablecoin regulations such as Hong Kong and the EU by Q2 2026, with expansion to other compliant markets depending on regulatory developments. In the future, users may be able to purchase Xiaomi products, from smartphones to electric vehicles, using stablecoins.
