Cash App Pay now works for digital asset purchases on MoonPay in the U.S.
Payments High Risk
18 Aug 2026 · 1 min read
MoonPay says it is now the first and only platform offering Cash App Pay for digital asset purchases, giving eligible U.S. customers a way to fund buys with their Cash App balance. For high-risk payment stacks, the useful bit is simple: one more familiar wallet rail is being pushed into crypto checkout, with fewer redirects and fewer places for users to drop off.
Eligible U.S. customers can use Cash App Pay to buy digital assets on MoonPay and through select partners on MoonPay’s network. MoonPay said the experience stays inside the “MoonPay buy flow,” with no redirects, no re-authentication, and “one tap checkout.”
MoonPay said Cash App Pay is also live with network partners including Trust Wallet, Bitcoin.com, MetaMask, Moonshot, Ledger, BitPay, Uniswap, Tangem, LOBSTR and Edge. That matters because distribution in crypto payments often comes from the checkout layer plus the wallet layer, not from one standalone merchant integration.
Ivan Soto-Wright, CEO and co-founder of MoonPay, framed the move around access to the “digital asset ecosystem” funded instantly from an app customers already know. Morgan Kuntze, Global Partnerships lead at Block, said Cash App wants to give customers “choice and flexibility” at checkout, while bitcoin remains at the core of its digital asset strategy.
MoonPay also leaned on its licensing footprint to make the case for trust: a BitLicense and a New York Limited Purpose Trust Company Charter from the New York Department of Financial Services, plus MiCA authorization in the European Union and registrations in the U.K., Australia and Canada. For PSPs and acquirers, that is the sort of regulatory inventory that often decides whether a crypto payment flow can be routed at all.
The company pointed to a PYMNTS Intelligence report, “From Asset to Everyday Money: Making Digital Currencies Spendable,” published in July, which said 77% of consumers would open a crypto or stablecoin wallet through an existing banking or FinTech app. The report also highlighted linked cards, instant conversion and modern issuer-processing systems as the practical bridge between digital assets and everyday payment behavior.
