Samsung Wallet and Pay Integration Brings Coinbase Trading Access to US Galaxy Owners

Friday, 03/10/2025 | 16:41 GMT by Tareq Sikder
  • Coinbase One, offering zero trading fees and increased staking rewards, is now available through Samsung Wallet.
  • In 2020, Samsung partnered with Gemini to enable crypto trading in its Blockchain Wallet.
Coinbase

Samsung has entered a new partnership with Coinbase to bring digital asset services to 75 million Galaxy device owners in the United States. The agreement gives users access to Coinbase’s priority trading service and is described as the largest single consumer distribution effort by the exchange. For Samsung, it is the most extensive integration of crypto features on its smartphones to date.

The move follows an earlier effort in 2020, when Samsung worked with Gemini to allow Blockchain Wallet users in the US and Canada to trade digital currencies directly. That initiative marked Samsung’s first collaboration with a US-based crypto exchange.

Samsung Wallet Integrates Coinbase One for Galaxy Device Owners

Under the new deal, Galaxy owners can use Coinbase One, a subscription service that offers zero-fee trading and higher staking rewards. The service is built into Samsung Wallet, meaning users do not need to install separate applications or transfer funds between platforms.

“Our mission is to bring more than a billion people on chain, and that starts with meeting them where they already are: on their phones,” said Shan Aggarwal, Chief Business Officer of Coinbase.

Samsung Pay is also being linked with Coinbase accounts. This will enable Galaxy device holders to make payments tied to their crypto holdings. The wallet already functions as a storage hub for payment cards, transit passes, and digital IDs.

The rollout starts in the U.S., but Samsung and Coinbase confirmed they intend to expand the service into international markets in the coming months.
