Sei and Xiaomi Bring Crypto to Global Phones

Sei has announced that a next-generation crypto wallet and discovery app will be pre-installed on all new Xiaomi smartphones. These devices will be sold outside mainland China and the United States.

This rollout is part of Sei’s new five million dollar Global Mobile Innovation Program. The project is designed to speed up real-world blockchain use across consumer devices.

A Seamless Way for Millions to Enter Crypto

Xiaomi is one of the largest smartphone makers in the world, with thirteen percent global market share and more than 168 million devices sold in 2024. By placing a crypto app directly on these devices, Sei is removing one of the biggest barriers to blockchain adoption: onboarding. Instead of searching for a wallet or learning complicated steps, users will be able to sign in using their Google or Xiaomi IDs. The app will include modern security through multi-party computation, which protects private keys by splitting them across multiple parties. It will also give people curated access to top decentralized apps and allow simple peer-to-peer transfers or purchases from businesses.

The first regions to receive the app include Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. Xiaomi has particularly strong market share in countries like Greece, where it holds more than one third of the smartphone market, and India, where it controls nearly a quarter. That reach means millions of people could interact with crypto for the first time through a familiar device. This strategy aligns with a broader trend.

The collaboration also includes plans to enable stablecoin payments across Xiaomi’s retail ecosystem. Customers may soon be able to buy smartphones and even electric vehicles with stablecoins running natively on Sei, such as USDC.
