Samsung adds Coinbase to Samsung Wallet, placing buy, sell and stake buttons directly inside the app for U.S. owners. The goal is faster adoption through fewer steps, bringing payments and crypto tools together in one place. The wallet now surfaces Samsung Pay, Coinbase One perks and Samsung Knox defenses on a single screen, a change that touches every Galaxy device and Coinbase’s order book.
The partnership lets users trade and stake without leaving Samsung Wallet, removing the extra app shuffle. Galaxy owners also receive three months of Coinbase One at no cost, a subscription that erases fees up to set levels and raises staking payouts, a move draws newcomers while keeping current traders engaged.
Samsung Pay joins the link so balances held at Coinbase can fund daily purchases, pulling cards and crypto into the same list. Samsung Knox guards data through tokenized card numbers, fingerprint checks and a hardware vault, cutting the threat that comes from holding keys on a phone.
