Samsung Puts Coinbase Inside Wallet for 75 Million U.S. Galaxy Users

The move marks Coinbase’s biggest consumer distribution through a phone wallet to date.

Overview

  • Galaxy owners can access Coinbase directly in Samsung Wallet and link Samsung Pay to their Coinbase accounts without a separate app.
  • Samsung is offering a three‑month Coinbase One trial with zero trading fees on select assets and boosted staking rewards, plus a $25 credit after a first trade.
  • Within Wallet, users can buy crypto, view balances, stake selected assets, make peer‑to‑peer transfers, and organize payments alongside IDs, tickets, and digital keys.
  • The rollout is live in the United States, and both companies say they plan to expand availability to additional regions in the coming months.
  • The launch builds on a July pilot, represents Samsung’s biggest crypto push, and highlights device‑level security features such as Knox to reassure users.
