ChainCatcher news, according to PR Newswire, Sei has announced a major partnership with global consumer electronics giant Xiaomi: all new Xiaomi smartphones (except those in mainland China and the United States) will come pre-installed with a next-generation crypto wallet and app discovery application based on Sei, and plans are underway to launch stablecoin payment functionality in Xiaomi's global retail system. Pre-installed application: Supports one-click onboarding with Google/Xiaomi ID, built-in MPC wallet security, multiple popular DApp entries, P2P transfer, and C2B payment capabilities. Priority markets: Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, Africa, and other regions with mature crypto adoption; Xiaomi holds a leading position in Greece (36.9%) and India (24.2%). Payment system plan: Currently developing stablecoin (such as USDC) payment functionality, with the first launch expected in Hong Kong and the EU in Q2 2026, and gradual expansion to more compliant markets. Xiaomi's influence: In 2024, global sales reached 168 millions smartphones, with a market share of 13%, firmly ranking among the top three worldwide. The pre-installed application will cover all new devices and will also be pushed to existing users. Sei believes this move will shift crypto from "users actively searching" to "automatically reaching users." With sub-second finality and high TPS, Sei can support the large-scale adoption of consumer-level Web3 applications.
