Samsung Galaxy users in the United States just got a simpler, cheaper way to buy and manage crypto. To mark the 10th anniversary of its Wallet app, Coinbase is integrating directly with Samsung Wallet and kicking things off with a limited-time promotion that makes trading more accessible on Galaxy phones.
Here’s what’s new and why it matters:
– Trade with zero Coinbase fees on select assets during the introductory promo when you access Coinbase through Samsung Wallet.
– Three months of Coinbase One are free for eligible Galaxy devices. The subscription includes no trading fees on eligible assets, increased staking rewards, exclusive offers, premium support, and protection against unauthorized account access.
– A $25 credit is available after your first crypto trade for Samsung Wallet users in the U.S.
– During the promo period, eligible users can apply for the Coinbase One credit card and earn up to 4% back in bitcoin, subject to credit approval and card terms.
With Coinbase built into Samsung Wallet, Galaxy owners can:
– View crypto balances right from their phone
– Buy bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies using Samsung Pay
– Trade, set up installments, and send peer-to-peer transfers
Samsung says this integration is all about streamlining everyday tasks on mobile, from payments to identity and now digital assets. The partnership launches in the U.S. first, with a broader global rollout planned in the coming months.
