Circle embeds USDC and EURC in SAP enterprise workflows as Samsung Wallet adds USDC for US Galaxy users
Circle Internet Group and SAP-backed Tereina announced on 7 October 2026 a partnership to integrate USDC and EURC into SAP Pay and SAP Cloud ERP, while Samsung separately disclosed a USDC expansion to eligible US Galaxy device users via Samsung Wallet with Coinbase as partner.
The two announcements signal that Circle is pursuing simultaneous enterprise ERP and consumer mobile distribution channels for its stablecoins, shifting competitive focus toward infrastructure and access rather than issuance alone.
Circle Internet Group and SAP-backed financial services company Tereina announced on 7 October 2026 a partnership to integrate Circle's USDC and EURC stablecoins into SAP enterprise payment workflows, with Samsung separately disclosing an expansion of USDC access to eligible US Galaxy device users through Samsung Wallet, naming Coinbase as a partner in that rollout.
Circle and Tereina Target Enterprise Treasury
The Circle–Tereina deal centres on embedding stablecoin payment capabilities directly into SAP Pay and SAP Cloud ERP — two of the core operational surfaces used by enterprise finance teams. Under the arrangement, USDC is designated as the preferred instrument for dollar-denominated transactions, while EURC covers euro-denominated flows, a currency pairing that aligns the integration with cross-border treasury and accounts-payable use cases common among multinational organisations.
The partnership positions dollar- and euro-denominated stablecoin rails inside the enterprise resource-planning stack, rather than requiring corporate treasury teams to route payments through separate external platforms.
The companies say they plan to test the integration with customers over the coming months, with stated applications covering global payments and treasury operations. No production go-live date has been announced, and no pilot customers have been named publicly.

Samsung Wallet Adds USDC for US Galaxy Users
In a separate development, Samsung announced it is expanding USDC access to eligible US users of Galaxy devices through Samsung Wallet. Coinbase is named as a partner in the integration. No further eligibility criteria or timeline details were confirmed in the verified sourcing available to this publication, and total Samsung Wallet active device figures were not cited in verified sourcing reviewed here.
Editorial Context: Distribution as the New Stablecoin Battleground
Analysts and industry observers have noted — and the two announcements together illustrate — that competitive pressure in stablecoins is increasingly visible at the distribution and infrastructure layer rather than solely at the issuance layer. Embedding USDC and EURC into an enterprise ERP stack used by large corporates is a materially different channel strategy from consumer-wallet or exchange-native distribution. The Samsung Wallet integration, meanwhile, places USDC directly in a mobile consumer context for Galaxy device holders in the US. Together, the moves suggest Circle is pursuing simultaneous enterprise and consumer distribution vectors, though the operational and commercial significance of each channel remains to be demonstrated once pilots and rollouts progress beyond the announcement stage.
