SEI Partners with Xiaomi to Pre-Install Wallet and USDC Payments on Global Xiaomi Smartphones

Sei has announced a strategic partnership with Xiaomi to accelerate crypto onboarding. Starting with nearly all new Xiaomi devices outside mainland China and the United States, a pre-installed Sei wallet and App Discovery hub will ship, with plans to enable stablecoin payments through Xiaomi’s global retail network.

The bundled app delivers one-click onboarding via Google or Xiaomi IDs, integrated MPC wallet security, multiple DApp gateways, and support for P2P and C2B payments.

Sei’s strategy centers on mature crypto regions in Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa, with Xiaomi holding notable shares in Greece (36.9%) and India (24.2%).

A USDC-backed stablecoin payments rollout is planned, with the first deployments in Hong Kong and the EU in Q2 2026, followed by expansion to compliant markets. The pre-installed app will cover all new devices and be pushed to existing users.
