Samsung Embeds Coinbase in Galaxy Wallet for 75 Million U.S. Users

The launch pairs in‑wallet crypto access with a three‑month Coinbase One trial and is set to reach additional regions next.

Overview

  • Galaxy owners can buy, trade, stake, and manage cryptocurrency directly inside Samsung Wallet without installing a separate app or creating new accounts.
  • Eligible users receive three months of Coinbase One with zero trading fees on select assets and boosted staking rewards, plus a $25 credit after their first trade.
  • Samsung Pay links to Coinbase accounts so users can fund purchases and make payments tied to their crypto holdings from the same wallet they use for cards and IDs.
  • Samsung highlights security with biometric authentication, tokenization, and the Knox secure element protecting sensitive data on device.
  • The U.S. rollout marks Coinbase’s largest consumer distribution to date, with international expansion planned and a modest uptick reported in Coinbase’s stock price after the news.
