Samsung has taken a major leap into the world of cryptocurrency by teaming up with Coinbase, one of the world’s leading crypto exchanges. This groundbreaking partnership will give over 75 million Galaxy device owners in the U.S. access to Coinbase One, the premium version of the platform. It’s the largest consumer distribution deal in Coinbase’s history and a bold move by Samsung to turn Galaxy devices into full-fledged financial hubs.
Coinbase One Now Available via Samsung Wallet
Starting in the U.S., Galaxy users can now access Coinbase One directly through Samsung Wallet—with no need to download separate apps or transfer funds between platforms. The integration brings a host of premium features:
-
Zero trading fees on crypto transactions
-
Higher staking rewards for eligible assets
-
Frictionless access to Coinbase’s tools and services
-
Enhanced security, built into the Galaxy device ecosystem
By streamlining the crypto experience into the native Samsung Wallet app, the company is making it easier for everyday users to explore Web3 and digital assets without the usual complexity.
Samsung Pay Will Support Crypto Payments
Another major part of the partnership is the integration of Coinbase with Samsung Pay. Galaxy users will be able to link their Coinbase account and use crypto-backed payments alongside traditional payment methods. Whether you’re tapping your phone to ride the subway, pay at a café, or show your ID, everything will live in one place—your Galaxy Wallet.
According to Samsung, this is part of their vision to position Galaxy Wallet as a complete financial and identity solution for users around the world. As Shan Aggarwal, Chief Business Officer at Coinbase, said:
“Our mission is to bring more than a billion people on chain.”
While the initial launch is exclusive to U.S. users, Samsung has confirmed that global expansion is coming soon, potentially reaching millions more around the world. With this partnership, Samsung is not just following the crypto trend—it’s helping to lead it.
