South Korean crypto company Enjin Wallet has reportedly been appointed by Samsung to back a blockchain wallet in its new Galaxy S10 smartphone, anonymous sources told Asia Crypto Today on Monday, Feb. 25.

Enjin Wallet reportedly used in Samsung blockchain keystore.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the Enjin Wallet will be installed in the Galaxy S10, which is expected to be used by over 31 million users, Asia Crypto Today states.
The wallet can reportedly be used to send and receive ERC-20 tokens and ERC-1155 crypto game assets.
Samsung introduced its new flagship Galaxy S10 on Feb. 20.
The company revealed that the smartphone will have storage for private cryptocurrency keys, but a crypto wallet was not mentioned despite the previously denied multiple rumors regarding the phone's possible configuration and support for cryptocurrency wallets and decentralized applications.
Heslin Kim, a cryptocurrency analyst from South Korea, later shared a video in his Twitter account, claiming it was a Galaxy S10 blockchain tutorial and providing instructions on using an integrated blockchain wallet.
According to Kim, Samsung avoids mentioning the wallet in an attempt to "Keep Apple on their toes."
The information on the integrated blockchain wallet is also reportedly confirmed by Coindesk Korea, whose reporters have managed to allegedly test the smartphone in Samsung's flagship D'light store in Korean capital Seoul.
