Sei Integrates Crypto Wallet and Search App Into Xiaomi Smartphones

2025/12/11 16:18
  • Xiaomi’s new devices will come pre-installed with a cryptocurrency wallet and the Sei search app.
  • The companies are considering launching stablecoin payments on Xiaomi’s retail network.
  • Sei launches $5 million global mobile innovation program.

Sei’s blockchain team announced a partnership with Xiaomi. As part of the partnership, the tech giant’s new smartphones sold outside mainland China and the US will come with a pre-installed cryptocurrency wallet and cryptocurrency search app.

The integration is targeted at markets with actively growing use of digital assets, including Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia and Africa.

The project will be part of Sei’s new $5 million program to develop mobile Web3 applications and accelerate the adoption of blockchain in consumer devices. The company says registration for the app will be through Google and Xiaomi accounts.

The software will have built-in MPC technology for key security, as well as access to decentralized services and peer-to-peer transfers.

Going forward, the partners will explore the possibility of launching stabelcoin payments in Xiaomi’s ecosystem. They are considering introducing settlement in USDC and other Sei-based assets for purchases of smartphones, consumer electronics and other company products.

The first pilot regions are Hong Kong and the EU, with launch expected in the second quarter of 2026.

The partnership gives Sei access to the user base of Xiaomi, which holds about 13% of the global smartphone market and sold 168 million devices in 2024. The pre-installed app and promotion through advertising channels should give the blockchain exposure to a non-cryptocurrency audience, the developers said.

Sei believes that the network’s high bandwidth and finalization time of less than 400 ms allow the infrastructure to be adapted to mass consumer scenarios. The company expects that the integration into Xiaomi devices will be one of the largest examples of the introduction of Web3 in the traditional electronic ecosystem.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
