There are no further details available about the storage solution and, at this point, it’s unclear what digital currencies it will support.

Rumors Turn True

The rumors of Samsung Galaxy S10’s cryptocurrency storage solution were sparked in late-January this year, following leaked photos of the new phone, displaying pictures of an application called Samsung Blockchain KeyStore.



Samsung has also filed three trademark applications in the EU - one for a Blockchain KeyStore, one for Blockchain Core, and one for Blockchain Key Box. In any case, it’s not the first company to go after the growing market of blockchain enthusiasts. Last year HTC was the first smartphone manufacturer to create a blockchain phone called Exodus 1.
