Samsung collaborates with Coinbase to provide 75 million Galaxy Device owners in US access to Exchange’s Priority Trading Service, making it the largest single consumer distribution Coinbase has performed and Samsung Galaxy’s largest crypto effort to date, companies said on Thursday.
The Samsung design book gives Galaxy owners access to the Coinbase One service, which includes zero commercial fees and increased stacks. This means that users can explore crypto without downloading a separate app or moving funds across platforms.
Samsung Pay is also linked to Coinbase accounts, giving Galaxy owners the opportunity to make payments tied to their inventory. As such, crypto tools will be available in the same place Telephone users are already storing debit cards, transit passes and IDs.
“Our mission is to bring more than a billion people to chain, and it starts with meeting them where they are already: on their phones,” said Shan Aggarwal, Chief Business Officer, Coinbase.
While the rollout starts in the United States, Samsung and Coinbase are planning to expand the program to international markets in the coming months.
“Samsung Wallet is a trusted tool for millions of Galaxy users, and we are constantly working to find creative ways to improve the experience with added functionality,” said Drew Blackard, SVP for mobile product management, Samsung Electronics America.
