Xiaomi to Ship Phones with Preinstalled Sei Crypto Wallet in Global Markets

Published at 2025-12-11 12:45:12

Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi said it will ship new devices with a preinstalled Sei “crypto wallet and discovery app” in markets outside mainland China and the United States. The integration brings native access to Sei’s dApp discovery and wallet features directly onto Xiaomi handsets, potentially exposing a broad pool of retail users to SEI‑native applications and services.

Analysts say the arrangement could lower onboarding friction, boost developer interest, and increase retail visibility for the SEI token, though real impact will depend on adoption rates and local regulatory environments. Xiaomi’s exclusion of the U.S. and mainland China likely reflects differing rules and compliance requirements; nonetheless, the partnership is a clear push toward mainstream mobile crypto accessibility and could accelerate usage and ecosystem activity if users engage with the preinstalled app.
