“The arrival of the new Samsung phones could start popularization of the cryptocurrency wallet system in Korea.”
Another report from a mainstream media in South Korea named Donga shows that Samsung Pay considers cryptocurrency integration as a way to expand its user base all over the world. The report read:
“Samsung Pay has recently extended the transaction period for overseas users and integrated an international payment processing service, aggressively targeting the global financial services market.
At this phase of development, if a cryptocurrency wallet is added to Samsung Pay, the application will be strengthened as a complete fintech platform. Currently, the Samsung Blockchain Wallet is said to be supporting Ethereum but more cryptocurrencies are expected to be integrated in the near-term.”
According to Donga, the user base behind Samsung Pay has grown by more than 58% from 2017 to 2018, rising to a staggering number of 6.6 million users.
