Speaking at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event, Dinham said, “This will make Samsung one of the first major mobile brands to bring native stablecoins to a smartphone, enabling fast and trusted digital value transfers.”
With the addition of stablecoins, Samsung Wallet will bring together payments, rewards and digital assets, creating “the foundation of a connected financial ecosystem across Galaxy devices and services,” Dinham said.
Samsung announced two days earlier, in a Monday (July 20) press release, that it was introducing its first ever credit card, Samsung Galaxy Card, which offers cash rewards on every purchase.
The card is offered as both a virtual and a metal physical card, and it conveniently integrates with Samsung Wallet, the company said.
“For years, users have relied on Samsung products to enhance their daily life — from staying connected with friends, to relaxation, to productivity,” Woncheol Chai, executive vice president and head of the digital wallet team at the Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung, said in the release. “Today, Samsung Galaxy Card offers users a new way to be rewarded every time you pay.”
Samsung’s first credit card was developed with Barclays co-brand capabilities and Visa’s network, PYMNTS reported Tuesday (July 21).
Coinbase announced in July 2025 that it enabled its North American app customers to purchase cryptocurrency with Samsung Pay.
“This new integration brings together the convenience of Samsung’s trusted mobile wallet with Coinbase’s secure and intuitive platform, unlocking a smoother path to crypto for millions of mobile users across North America,” Coinbase said at the time in a blog post. “Whether you’re diving in or doubling down, Samsung Pay makes buying crypto feel as easy as tapping to pay.”
In October 2025, Samsung and Coinbase enabled Samsung Galaxy users in the United States to access the cryptocurrency exchange’s membership program Coinbase One within Samsung Wallet.
Coinbase One provides its members with zero trading fees, boosted staking awards, priority support, exclusive partner deals and lost fund restoration in case of unauthorized third-party access, the company said at the time.
