August 30, 2019, by Marko Vidrih on ALTCOIN MAGAZINE

The cryptocurrency wallet of the Samsung Galaxy S10 smartphone received support for Bitcoin, as well as Binance Coin, Maker (MKR), Pundi X (NPXS) and large stablecoins such as TrueUSD (TUSD) and USD Coin (USDC), according to the South Korean news publication Sedaily. With the latest expansion, the number of supported assets has increased to 33.

Samsung Blockchain Wallet will automatically create two types of accounts: one for Ethereum (ETH), which is supported from the very beginning, and a new one for Bitcoin. If you need wallets for additional cryptocurrencies, you can get them by adding coins or tokens, the publication says.

According to a source with reference to a Samsung representative, Galaxy S10 owners will soon be able to create separate wallets for storing coins used in decentralized applications affiliated with the company.

One of the Reddit users shared a screenshot from the Galaxy S10 screen, which shows that the smartphone wallet can actually be used to store Bitcoin, Binance Coin, USD Coin and TrueUSD.

Currently, the ability to use a blockchain wallet is available to Galaxy S10 owners only in Canada, Germany, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, the USA and the UK.

Earlier in media, information appeared that Samsung could release its own cryptocurrency based on a fork of the Ethereum codebase.
