Samsung and Coinbase announced a partnership on Oct. 3, 2025, capturing the attention of the crypto community with its potential to reach over 75 million Samsung Galaxy users in the US. While the official announcement outlines a promotional offer, the community’s focus has shifted to media reports suggesting a much deeper integration is on the way.
According to the official blog post from Coinbase, the partnership focuses on two main components. It provides US-based Galaxy users with a promotional trial for a Coinbase One subscription through the Samsung Wallet app. Additionally, the collaboration includes an integration with Samsung Pay, allowing users to purchase crypto on the Coinbase platform.
While Coinbase detailed the promotional aspects, the crypto community quickly latched onto reports from major media outlets suggesting a much more comprehensive integration. According to these reports, the partnership could allow users to trade, stake, and make payments with crypto directly inside the Samsung Wallet. The possibility of such a seamless experience is what has captured the community’s interest.
The idea of embedding a full-featured crypto wallet into a mainstream device has been a hot topic of discussion, with many in the community speculating on its potential impact.

The prospect of native wallet integration has sparked widespread discussion about mass crypto adoption potential. Making crypto trading and staking accessible within a pre-installed app for tens of millions of users represents a significant shift in mainstream accessibility.
This move places Samsung in direct competition with its chief rival, Apple, which has also been making moves in the digital asset space. While Apple has been more cautious publicly, its strategy has included Apple Pay integrations with crypto debit cards, signaling a clear interest. This broader push to integrate crypto into major mobile ecosystems means the crypto community is watching closely to see which tech giant will make the most significant move first.
