MoonPay has added Cash App Pay as a payment option for cryptocurrency purchases, allowing eligible customers in the United States to use funds held in their Cash App balances during MoonPay transactions.
The service is available through MoonPay’s own checkout and on selected partner platforms, including Trust Wallet, Bitcoin.com, MetaMask, Moonshot, Ledger, BitPay, Uniswap, Tangem, LOBSTR and Edge.
Customers can now pay for supported cryptocurrencies without transferring money between separate services or signing in again during the purchase. The move gives MoonPay users in the US another way to fund crypto transactions, while connecting the platform to a payments service used by tens of millions of people.
Cash App is operated by Jack Dorsey’s Block, which reported 59 million active users in June in its second-quarter shareholder report. The app already allows users to buy and sell Bitcoin directly, but MoonPay’s integration gives eligible customers access to a wider range of cryptocurrencies offered through its platform.
Cash App Pay joins PayPal and Venmo as one of the digital payment services linked to MoonPay’s cryptocurrency purchasing infrastructure.
MoonPay began supporting PayPal in 2024 before expanding its payment offering through Venmo. An earlier crypto.news report said the Venmo integration, announced in October 2024, enabled about 60 million US users at the time to purchase cryptocurrency through MoonPay using funds in their Venmo accounts.
The arrangement with Venmo followed a similar structure to the Cash App Pay integration. Customers use an existing balance in a familiar payments application, while MoonPay processes the cryptocurrency purchase. Venmo support was later extended to parts of MoonPay’s partner network.
Payment integrations remain central to MoonPay’s original fiat-to-crypto business. The company connects traditional financial services with cryptocurrency purchases and supports payment methods such as bank cards, bank transfers and several digital payment providers. The methods available vary according to the customer’s location.
MoonPay said Cash App Pay will function through its direct checkout as well as compatible third-party services. Its inclusion across established self-custody wallets and crypto applications means platforms such as MetaMask, Ledger and Trust Wallet do not need to develop separate Cash App purchasing systems.
The company operates in New York under a BitLicense and Limited Purpose Trust Charter issued by the New York State Department of Financial Services. It is also authorised in the European Union under the Markets in Crypto-Assets framework through the Netherlands.
MoonPay builds institutional infrastructure
The addition of Cash App Pay comes as MoonPay continues to expand beyond retail cryptocurrency purchases. Much of the company’s activity in 2026 has focused on infrastructure for institutional trading, custody and tokenised assets.
In April, MoonPay acquired security company Sodot in an all-stock transaction valued at about $100m, according to Bloomberg at the time. The acquisition provided key-management technology for a newly established institutional business.
MoonPay said Sodot’s technology would support services for financial institutions, asset managers, trading firms and exchanges. The business includes trading, payments, tokenised securities, wallet infrastructure and stablecoin issuance. Former acting Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair Caroline Pham is leading the unit.
Sodot specialises in self-hosted multiparty computation technology, which divides control of cryptocurrency private keys between separate components. MoonPay incorporated that technology into its institutional infrastructure as it broadened its offering.
The company also bought Solana trading infrastructure provider DFlow in May. The technology later became part of MoonPay Trade, an institutional execution platform that, according to details released by MoonPay in June, provides access to trading and routing infrastructure across more than 200 blockchains through a single API.
In June, Franklin Templeton added its BENJI fund to MoonPay Trade. The arrangement allows institutional customers to exchange stablecoins including USDC and USDT for Franklin Templeton’s tokenised US government money market fund.
Franklin Templeton said the connection could be used for treasury management, portfolio rebalancing, collateral and liquidity operations. MoonPay described the deal as an expansion of its institutional services into tokenised financial products, alongside cryptocurrency, fiat and stablecoin infrastructure.
MoonPay continued its acquisition programme in July with the purchase of cross-chain infrastructure start-up Glide, adding further technology for trading, security and blockchain connectivity.
AI-assisted transactions
MoonPay has also introduced products designed to support AI-assisted cryptocurrency transactions, allowing users to authorise certain financial actions through conversational assistants.
Earlier this month, the company launched its PayBox vault, a non-custodial payment product that connects with ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude. Users can ask an assistant to prepare cryptocurrency purchases, swaps, cross-chain transfers, decentralised finance deposits and some online purchases, while retaining control over transaction permissions.
PayBox includes an “Always Ask” mode, which requires passkey approval for every transaction. Its “Autonomous” setting allows an assistant to act within spending limits and rules set by the user. Any change to the permission model also requires passkey authorisation.
The product uses technology acquired through the Sodot deal. Wallet keys are divided using multiparty computation and stored across secure hardware environments. MoonPay said neither it nor a connected AI assistant could independently access the complete private key or authorise a transaction.
PayBox currently supports Solana and several Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible networks, including Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Hyperliquid, Tempo and Robinhood Chain. Its initial integrations also include selected travel bookings, restaurant reservations and purchases from online retailers.
