Instant Fiat-to-Crypto in Mixin: A Native Buying Experience Powered by Coinbase

Introduction

Buying crypto is often more complicated than it needs to be.

Users are typically redirected to external pages, asked to create new accounts, or required to repeat identity and payment steps before they can complete a purchase. Each additional step increases friction — and often leads to failed transactions.

With this update, Mixin introduces a native fiat-to-crypto buying experience, powered by Coinbase, designed to make purchasing crypto faster and more intuitive.

What “Native” Actually Means

This integration is built directly into the Mixin app experience.

There are:

• No external redirects

• No need to leave the app mid-flow

Users complete the entire purchase journey — from selecting an amount to receiving crypto — inside Mixin.

Fewer Steps, Higher Completion

A key design goal was reducing friction.

With this integration:

• No additional Coinbase account is required

• Checkout is completed using Apple Pay

• Transactions finish in seconds, not minutes

Fewer steps lead to fewer drop-offs, especially for users who are new to crypto or making smaller, everyday purchases.

Designed for Real-World Use

This update isn’t just about adding another on-ramp provider.

It’s about aligning crypto purchases with how people actually expect apps to work today:

• Fast

• Embedded

• Minimal setup

By removing unnecessary interruptions, the buying experience becomes something users can repeat confidently — not a one-time hurdle.
