Coinbase is making crypto transactions even easier by rolling out Samsung Pay integration within its app. This new feature, initially available to select users in the U.S. and Canada this week with a full rollout expected next month and global expansion planned, allows for quick crypto purchases and deposits without repeatedly entering payment details. This move follows Coinbase's existing integrations with Apple Pay and Google Pay, underscoring its commitment to simple and secure payment solutions.
Both Coinbase and Samsung believe this collaboration will streamline the crypto experience for millions of mobile users, leveraging Samsung Pay's convenience with Coinbase's secure platform.
This development comes on the heels of Coinbase's recent launch of the Base App, an ambitious all-in-one mobile platform that replaced Coinbase Wallet. Inspired by successful Asian "super apps" like WeChat and Alipay, the Base App aims to integrate various features, including crypto wallet management, trading, payments, messaging, social networking, and mini-app support, all powered by Base (Coinbase's Ethereum-based blockchain).
With the Base App, Coinbase is looking beyond traditional crypto traders to attract a wider audience and reduce its reliance on trading revenue by fostering everyday blockchain use. To support this vision, the platform also introduced Base Account for identity verification and Base Pay for express checkouts using the USDC stablecoin. This strategic shift signals Coinbase's intent to become a comprehensive "everything app" for the crypto economy.
