Xiaomi integrates Sei Wallet crypto wallet into new smartphones

Starting in 2026, Sei Wallet will be installed on new Xiaomi smartphones in most countries except China and the United States. The company produces about 168 million devices annually, so the integration will cover a significant part of the global market. The feature will first be available in regions with a high level of cryptocurrency use, such as Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa.

Jeff Feng, co-founder of Sei Labs, explained that integrating the wallet directly into the mobile ecosystem will «redefine the way billions of users interact with digital assets in their daily lives.» The app will support authorization via Google ID and Xiaomi ID, have MPC (Multi-Party Computation) protection, and provide access to a selection of decentralized applications.

One of the key elements of the partnership will be the ability to pay with stablecoins in Xiaomi’s global retail and digital ecosystem. Users will be able to purchase smartphones and other products of the company using stablecoins compatible with the Sei ecosystem, including USDC. The payment functionality is scheduled to be launched in the second quarter of 2026, first in Hong Kong and the European Union.

Sei Labs co-founder Jay Joge emphasized that the company’s technology provides transaction finalization in less than 400 milliseconds and is capable of processing thousands of transactions per second, making it suitable for mass use. He added that the world is moving «from a situation where the user is looking for cryptocurrency to one where it finds the user.»

After the news was announced, the SEI network’s native token rose in price by 2.4% to trade at around $ 0.13. Earlier, in August 2025, MetaMask wallet also integrated support for the Sei L1 network, which was another step in the development of its Web3 infrastructure.
