Tech giant Samsung has expanded the terms of its partnership with crypto exchange Coinbase. This allows Galaxy smartphone owners to purchase cryptocurrency directly through their own Samsung Wallet.
It is known that initially, nearly 75 million Galaxy users in the US will have access to Coinbase One, a subscription service that offers zero trading fees, higher rewards for staking and protecting your account from loss of funds due to unauthorized access.
Together with Samsung, we are combining their global scale with Coinbase’s trusted platform to give people the best possible access to cryptocurrency, starting with the 75 million Galaxy users in the US and soon around the world,» said Shan Aggarwal, Chief Commercial Officer of Coinbase.
As of September, Samsung accounted for approximately 13% of the world’s 7,4 billion smartphone users. Accordingly, the new partnership will «make cryptocurrency even more accessible,» according to Coinbase co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong.
Launched by Samsung Electronics, Samsung Wallet is an improved version of Samsung Pay, first introduced in 2015. It later integrated features from several crypto wallets, and in June 2022, it was renamed the Samsung Wallet mobile app. In late July 2025, Samsung Wallet was first introduced as a payment and deposit method for cryptocurrency traders on Coinbase.
