Sei Wallet Pre-Installed on Millions of Xiaomi Phones

Published at 2025-12-10 15:15:11

Sei Wallet will come pre-installed on millions of new Xiaomi phones, giving users out-of-the-box access to peer-to-peer payments, decentralized applications and broader Web3 exploration. The app also supports stablecoin payments for in-store retail purchases, positioning mobile devices as a direct crypto checkout option without requiring third-party wallets.

The distribution amplifies Sei's reach by placing its wallet in front of Xiaomi's large global audience and could accelerate onboarding and on-chain activity for SEI-native services. While wider pre-installation is not a guaranteed market signal, it reduces friction for newcomers and raises the profile of mobile crypto payments — alongside renewed focus on user education, security defaults and regulatory compliance as device makers deepen ties to Web3.
