Samsung has partnered with Coinbase to integrate crypto services directly into Samsung Wallet, giving more than 75 million Galaxy users in the U.S. immediate access to cryptocurrency features. The collaboration allows users to trade, stake, and manage digital assets without needing to download additional apps. Samsung Pay has also been integrated with Coinbase, enabling seamless crypto purchases through existing payment methods.
As part of the launch, eligible U.S. Galaxy owners can access a free three-month trial of Coinbase One – the exchange’s subscription-based service. Coinbase One includes zero trading fees up to a set limit, priority support, boosted staking rewards, and limited account protection against unauthorized access. Some users may also receive a $25 USDC credit after completing their first trade.
Seamless Payments and Added Functionality
The new integration allows users to fund their Coinbase accounts directly through Samsung Pay. This is expected to simplify the process of buying and spending crypto, as it avoids some of the common transaction issues associated with traditional payment methods. Coinbase aims to make digital assets more accessible by embedding its platform into tools that users already rely on.
Both companies have confirmed that a global expansion is planned in the coming months. While the current rollout is limited to U.S. Galaxy users, further markets are expected to follow. The partnership combines Samsung’s mobile ecosystem with Coinbase’s trading infrastructure, potentially increasing access to crypto tools worldwide through a built-in, app-free approach.
