South Korean tech behemoth Samsung has expanded its partnership with U.S. exchange Coinbase.
Galaxy users who link through Samsung Wallet will now be able to get free access to Coinbase One, the exchange's premium subscription service, for a total of three months.
The service offers various perks, such as zero trading fees on numerous assets, higher staking rewards, as well as priority customer support and exclusive partner offers.
Galaxy users will also be able to receive a $25 bonus after making their first Coinbase trade via Samsung Wallet.
On top of that, Samsung has announced a deeper integration of crypto, making it possible for users to view crypto alongside other digital essentials.
Coinbase's integration with Samsung Pay was initially announced in July.
Samsung's involvement in crypto space
Samsung is not necessarily new to crypto. In 2019, as reported by U.Today, the tech behemoth launched the Samsung Blockchain Wallet with the launch of the Galaxy S10.
The following year, it announced a deal with cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, whose services were integrated into the wallet. The partnership was similar to the Coinbase integration that was announced earlier this year.
Later, it also enabled support for the Stellar and Tron blockchains. In 2022, it also announced a tie-up with Cardano-based platform Veritree as part of its pro-environment push.
On top of that, Samsung has put money into several blockchain-related companies, including NFT giant Yuga Labs, via its innovation arm, Samsung NEXT.
