#数字资产市场动态 Smartphone giants and blockchain platforms are colliding more frequently.

Sei recently announced a partnership — a deep integration with Xiaomi. The plan is to embed crypto wallets and Web3 applications directly into Xiaomi's new phones. Not just embedding, but globally, except in Mainland China and the United States, all newly sold Xiaomi devices will come pre-installed with this solution.

From a technical perspective, this application isn't complicated but very practical. It supports direct login with Google accounts and Xiaomi accounts, eliminating the cumbersome process of mnemonic phrases. It uses multi-party computation wallet technology at the core to ensure security, allowing users to access decentralized applications within the $BTC ecosystem and perform peer-to-peer transfers. Basic functionalities are all in place.

The rollout strategy is also quite interesting. Initially, it won't be a global synchronization but will target regions with relatively high cryptocurrency penetration — Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. This is a pragmatic approach, with lower market education costs.

Even more noteworthy is the subsequent plan. Xiaomi and Sei also intend to expand stablecoin payments within Xiaomi's global retail network. What does this mean? It means using cryptocurrencies to buy things at Xiaomi offline stores — no longer just an idea. The timetable is set — Q2 2026, with Hong Kong and the European Union taking the lead in testing.

This series of actions reflects a trend: mainstream consumer electronics manufacturers are starting to take Web3 wallet applications seriously, no longer treating them as fringe experiments. When players of Xiaomi's scale get involved, it signals that the ecosystem's maturity is quite clear.
