Samsung Electronics has expanded its partnership with Coinbase, enabling Galaxy users in the U.S. to access crypto more easily through Samsung Pay. The collaboration, first announced in July, now allows Coinbase users to purchase cryptocurrency directly in-app, enhancing Samsung Wallet’s role as a central platform for digital essentials.
As part of this expansion, Samsung Wallet users can claim a free three-month subscription to Coinbase One, which offers zero trading fees on select assets, increased staking rewards, and exclusive partner offers. Eligible users can also receive a $25 credit in USDC after making their first trade on Coinbase.
Samsung Wallet consolidates various digital services, including payments, installment options, IDs, digital keys, and peer-to-peer transfers, into one secure platform. With the integration of Coinbase, users can now view and manage their crypto holdings alongside other essentials, further extending the wallet’s convenience.
Samsung highlights the importance of smartphones in managing daily activities beyond communication, while Coinbase sees the partnership as an opportunity to combine Samsung’s scale with its trusted platform, initially serving over 75 million Galaxy users in the U.S., with plans to expand globally.
