On December 10, $BTC 12, the Sei blockchain platform and Xiaomi Group announced a partnership. Starting in 2026, all new Xiaomi phones sold outside of mainland China and the United States will come pre-installed with a cryptocurrency wallet application. Users can log in directly using their Google account or Xiaomi account without the need to download it separately or go through a complicated registration process. This application uses MPC technology to ensure wallet security. It includes a built-in DApp entry, supporting functionalities like DeFi, social features, and NFTs. It also integrates payment features for everyday use. Jeff Feng, co-founder of Sei, stated that this not only addresses the user onboarding issue but directly brings Web3 into everyday devices. Xiaomi holds over 36% market share in the Greek smartphone market and over 24% in the Indian market. In 2024, device sales are expected to exceed 168 million units, with a global market share of 13%. The pre-installed wallet supports user registration via Google or Xiaomi accounts. The partnership also supports decentralized applications, peer-to-peer transactions, and consumer-grade business transactions. Both parties plan to enable stablecoin trading features like USDC on the Sei network. Stablecoin payment services are expected to launch in the second quarter of 2026 in Hong Kong and the European Union. In the future, it will expand to Xiaomi's 20,000 retail channels worldwide. The first promotional regions include Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa, which have high levels of cryptocurrency adoption. Sei has also committed to investing $5 million to launch the "Global Mobile Innovation Program," providing financial support to developers and startups creating blockchain applications for consumer-grade devices. According to company projections, this partnership could bring tens of millions of new users to the SEI platform annually, focusing on emerging markets through wallet services. As a global leader in consumer electronics, Xiaomi began its blockchain strategy as early as 2016. By December 2025, Xiaomi had applied for over 10 blockchain patents and invested in more than 20 related ecosystem companies, with total investments exceeding $1 billion. This has formed a closed-loop strategy from B2B to B2C. This collaboration marks a significant leap for blockchain technology from the financial sector to the consumer electronics sector, and is one of the deepest strategic partnerships between a global Layer 1 public chain and mainstream consumer electronics manufacturers. The era of "seeking crypto" has transitioned to "crypto finding you." $BTC #加密市场反弹
