Samsung has announced a strategic partnership with Coinbase to provide 75 million Galaxy device users across the United States with direct access to the exchange's premium trading platform. This collaboration represents Coinbase's largest single consumer distribution initiative and Samsung Galaxy's most significant cryptocurrency integration to date.
The integration enables Galaxy owners to access Coinbase One services directly through Samsung Wallet, featuring zero trading commissions and enhanced staking rewards. This seamless integration eliminates the need for separate app downloads or cross-platform fund transfers, making cryptocurrency exploration more accessible than ever.
Samsung Pay will also connect with Coinbase accounts, allowing users to make payments directly from their cryptocurrency holdings. This integration places crypto functionality alongside existing payment cards, transit passes, and digital identification within the familiar Samsung Wallet environment.
"Our vision is to onboard over one billion people into blockchain technology, beginning with accessibility through their mobile devices," stated Shan Aggarwal, Chief Business Officer at Coinbase.
While initial deployment focuses on the U.S. market, both companies confirmed plans for international expansion in the coming months.
"Samsung Wallet serves as a trusted platform for millions of Galaxy users, and we're committed to enhancing user experience through innovative functionality additions," commented Drew Blackard, SVP of Mobile Product Management at Samsung Electronics America.
