MoonPay Adds Cash App Pay for US Crypto Purchases

MoonPay added Cash App Pay as a payment method for U.S. cryptocurrency purchases, letting eligible customers fund transactions directly from their Cash App balances. The company announced Tuesday that the option is live through its own checkout and across selected partner platforms.

Those partners include Trust Wallet, MetaMask, Ledger, and Uniswap, among others. Customers using the service can pay for crypto with funds held in Cash App without moving money between separate services or completing another login during the purchase process.

Cash App, operated by Jack Dorsey's Block, reported 59 million active users in June, according to Block's second-quarter shareholder report. The integration adds another payment route for MoonPay, which already connects to PayPal and Venmo.

“Cash App is where tens of millions of Americans already manage their money,” MoonPay co-founder and CEO Ivan Soto-Wright said. “This integration means that those users can access the digital asset ecosystem, funded instantly from an app they already know and trust.”

MoonPay added PayPal support in 2024 and later expanded through Venmo. The Venmo integration, covered in October 2024, gave roughly 60 million users at the time the ability to buy cryptocurrencies through MoonPay using Venmo balances. The Cash App setup follows the same model.

Payment integrations form one part of MoonPay’s original fiat-to-crypto business. The company also supports cards and bank transfers. It operates in New York under a BitLicense and Limited Purpose Trust Charter from the New York State Department of Financial Services, and is authorized under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets framework through the Netherlands.

While the Cash App deal adds a consumer payment option, MoonPay has spent much of 2026 building institutional infrastructure. In April, it acquired security firm Sodot for roughly $100 million in stock. Sodot’s multiparty computation technology splits control of cryptocurrency private keys across separate components, and MoonPay incorporated it into services for financial institutions, asset managers, and trading firms.

MoonPay also bought Solana trading infrastructure provider DFlow in May, later becoming MoonPay Trade. The platform gives clients access to trading and routing infrastructure across more than 200 blockchains through a single API.

In June, Franklin Templeton added its BENJI tokenized U.S. government money market fund to MoonPay Trade. Institutional users can exchange stablecoins including USDC and USDT for the fund. Franklin Templeton said the connection could be used for treasury management, portfolio rebalancing, collateral, and liquidity operations. MoonPay said the deal extended its institutional services into tokenized financial products.

MoonPay acquired cross-chain startup Glide in July. It also launched PayBox, a noncustodial payment vault that connects with ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude. Users can instruct an assistant to prepare crypto purchases, swaps, and cross-chain transfers, or authorize DeFi deposits and certain online purchases, while retaining control over transaction permissions.

PayBox offers an “Always Ask” mode that requires passkey approval for each transaction and an “Autonomous” setting that lets an assistant act within spending limits and rules configured by the user. Wallet keys are split using technology from the Sodot acquisition and stored across secure hardware environments. MoonPay said neither the company nor a connected AI assistant can independently obtain the complete private key or authorize a transaction.

PayBox currently supports Solana and several Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible networks, including Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Hyperliquid, Tempo, and Robinhood Chain. Its first integrations cover selected travel bookings, restaurant reservations, and purchases from online retailers.
