MoonPay has added Cash App Pay to its checkout, expanding the cryptocurrency purchasing options available to eligible customers across the United States. The integration lets users fund crypto purchases directly from balances already held inside Cash App, removing an extra transfer step from the buying process. It also extends Cash App-linked access beyond Bitcoin and USDC by connecting those balances to MoonPay's broader digital asset offering. Cash App Pay itself, which Block introduced in 2022 so customers could pay outside merchants from their app balances, is already an established U.S. retail checkout option. The move adds another mainstream payment rail to MoonPay's checkout alongside the company's existing support for PayPal and Venmo.
Cash App Pay Rolls Out Across Major Crypto Platforms
MoonPay now supports Cash App Pay through its direct checkout as well as through a selected group of partner platforms. Supported services include Trust Wallet, MetaMask, Ledger, BitPay, Uniswap, Tangem, LOBSTR, Edge, Moonshot, and Bitcoin.com, making the payment option available across several established wallets and cryptocurrency applications. That reach reflects MoonPay's underlying model: founded in 2019, the company built its business embedding fiat-to-crypto checkout inside other companies' wallets and apps rather than operating a standalone consumer exchange.
The payment method removes the need to transfer funds between separate services before completing a cryptocurrency purchase. Instead of moving money from one app to another, eligible customers can use their existing Cash App balances during the MoonPay checkout process. The integration therefore adds another familiar payment route to the company's U.S. crypto infrastructure.
Cash App, the consumer payments service operated by Block, reported 59 million active customers in June, according to Block's second-quarter shareholder report. The service already supports direct Bitcoin trading and recently introduced USDC support for its customers. Bitcoin has long featured in Block's wider strategy: the company, formerly known as Square, holds Bitcoin on its corporate balance sheet, and chief executive Jack Dorsey is among the technology industry's most visible Bitcoin advocates. With the new connection in place, MoonPay links Cash App balances to the additional cryptocurrencies available through its purchasing platform.
Access to ETH, SOL, XRP and USDT
Through the integration, eligible Cash App users can purchase assets including Ether, Solana, XRP, and USDT. Cash App's own cryptocurrency services previously focused mainly on Bitcoin before expanding into USDC, the second-largest U.S. dollar stablecoin. The partnership consequently broadens digital asset access for Cash App users without requiring Block to add each cryptocurrency to its app directly.
Users can also fund supported self-custody wallets using Cash App balances through MoonPay's infrastructure. These wallets include Ledger, Trust Wallet, and MetaMask, along with several other services listed among the launch partners. Under this arrangement, MoonPay handles the crypto purchase while the partner applications provide customers with their selected wallet interfaces.
MoonPay already connects other mainstream payment services with cryptocurrency purchases across its platform. The company added PayPal support in 2024 before introducing Venmo as an additional payment method. Those earlier integrations followed a similar structure, linking existing payment balances directly with cryptocurrency checkout services. Other on-ramp providers such as Transak, Banxa, and Ramp Network similarly distribute their checkout through third-party wallets and have likewise added familiar payment options such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Building Beyond the Retail Crypto Onramp
MoonPay continues to expand beyond consumer crypto purchases into trading, custody, tokenization, and blockchain infrastructure services. In April, the company acquired security technology provider Sodot in an all-stock transaction valued near $100 million. It has since used Sodot's technology to strengthen infrastructure for institutional cryptocurrency services and wallet security.
Further acquisitions followed. MoonPay bought Solana trading infrastructure provider DFlow in May and cross-chain startup Glide in July. DFlow's technology later supported MoonPay Trade, which provides institutional trading and routing infrastructure across more than 200 blockchains. Franklin Templeton has also connected its tokenized BENJI fund with the platform for institutional stablecoin transactions.
The company moved into AI-assisted payments this month through its noncustodial PayBox product. PayBox allows supported assistants to prepare purchases, swaps, transfers, and decentralized finance transactions under user-defined permissions. Against that backdrop of institutional, tokenized asset, and AI payment expansion, the Cash App Pay launch keeps MoonPay focused on simplifying mainstream access to the broader cryptocurrency market.
