MoonPay Adds Cash App Pay for US Crypto Buys

Eligible US customers can now fund cryptocurrency purchases through MoonPay using Cash App balances, expanding access beyond Bitcoin for millions of users

MoonPay has integrated Cash App Pay as a new payment option for cryptocurrency purchases in the United States. Eligible customers can fund transactions directly from their Cash App balances through MoonPay’s checkout process and selected partner platforms.

The option is available on MoonPay’s own platform as well as through partners including Trust Wallet, Bitcoin.com, MetaMask, Moonshot, Ledger, BitPay, Uniswap, Tangem, LOBSTR and Edge. Users can complete purchases without switching applications or performing additional logins.

Broader Access for Cash App Users

Cash App, operated by Block under Jack Dorsey, already permits customers to buy and sell Bitcoin within its own application. The MoonPay connection extends that funding method to a wider selection of cryptocurrencies available through the payments firm and its partners.

According to Block’s second-quarter shareholder report, Cash App recorded 59 million active users in June. The integration positions the service as another mainstream funding route for MoonPay’s US customer base.

Cash App is where tens of millions of Americans already manage their money. This integration means that those users can access the digital asset ecosystem, funded instantly from an app they already know and trust.

Part of Expanding Payment Options

Cash App Pay joins existing MoonPay integrations with PayPal, added in 2024, and Venmo. The company continues to connect familiar consumer payment services to its cryptocurrency purchasing infrastructure, supporting cards, bank transfers and digital payment methods depending on location.

MoonPay holds a BitLicense and Limited Purpose Trust Charter from the New York State Department of Financial Services. It is also authorized under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets framework through the Netherlands.

MoonPay’s Wider 2026 Expansion

While the Cash App Pay addition strengthens retail payment choices, MoonPay has pursued broader growth this year through acquisitions and new products aimed at institutional services and advanced infrastructure.

In April the company acquired security firm Sodot in an all-stock transaction valued at roughly $100 million. Sodot’s multiparty computation technology supports key management for institutional offerings covering trading, payments, tokenized securities, wallet infrastructure and stablecoin issuance. Former acting Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair Caroline Pham leads the institutional unit.

In May MoonPay acquired Solana trading infrastructure provider DFlow, later incorporating the technology into MoonPay Trade. The platform provides clients access to trading and routing across more than 200 blockchains via a single API. In June Franklin Templeton added its BENJI fund to the platform, enabling institutional users to exchange stablecoins such as USDC and USDT for the tokenized US government money market fund.

July brought the acquisition of cross-chain infrastructure startup Glide. The same period saw the launch of PayBox, a noncustodial vault that connects with ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude. Users can instruct the assistants to prepare crypto purchases, swaps, cross-chain transfers and other actions while retaining control through passkey approvals and configurable spending limits.

PayBox currently supports Solana and several Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible networks. Its initial integrations also cover selected travel bookings, restaurant reservations and online retail purchases.

The Cash App Pay integration forms part of MoonPay’s ongoing effort to simplify entry into digital assets while building infrastructure for institutional clients and emerging AI-assisted transaction tools.
