Coinflow has teamed up with Bastion to make stablecoin payouts possible through Samsung Wallet in the U.S. The two companies say Galaxy users can move a stablecoin balance from Samsung Wallet to a bank account or debit card. The feature is aimed at users who want a direct cash-out route without leaving the wallet app.
What the integration does
Bastion acts as the licensed custodian and infrastructure partner. Coinflow handles the payout side through its network of licensed partners. The service converts stablecoins into U.S. dollars before sending funds to a user’s bank account or debit card. That conversion step matters because most U.S. bank rails do not accept stablecoins directly.
Samsung announced the stablecoin feature on October 7, 2026. It is now available on 82 million eligible Galaxy devices in the U.S., according to the companies. The reach is large, but availability still depends on device eligibility and the user completing the required checks.
How users move funds
The process happens inside Samsung Wallet. A user verifies identity, links a bank account or debit card, enters the amount, and confirms the transfer. Coinflow supports three payout methods: push-to-card, Real-Time Payments, and Automated Clearing House. Transfer times depend on the method selected and the receiving institution. Push-to-card may be faster in some cases, while ACH can take longer. RTP sits somewhere in between, though bank support can vary.
For users, the main question is speed versus convenience. A debit card payout might feel instant, but it can come with limits or fees set by the card network. A bank transfer may be cheaper, but it may not arrive right away. The companies have not shared a full fee schedule in the announcement, so users should check the app before confirming a transfer.
What to watch
The partnership shows stablecoin payments moving closer to mainstream wallet apps. It also puts licensed custody and payout partners in the middle of the flow, which may help with compliance. Still, the model relies on several moving parts: identity checks, bank connections, and conversion at the time of payout. If any of those steps fail, the transfer can be delayed. For now, the service gives eligible Samsung Wallet users another way to turn stablecoins into dollars, with the usual caveats about timing and fees.
