Cash App users can now buy XRP, solana, ether, and USDT directly through a new Moonpay integration, giving the app’s 59 million users access to tokens that Block has never listed directly on its own platform.
Key Takeaways
Cash App’s 59 million users can now buy XRP, solana, ether, and USDT via Moonpay.The integration, launched August 18, lets users fund external wallets like Bitcoin.com’s.Cash App’s crypto lineup had been limited to bitcoin and USDC before this expansion.The move is notable because Block, Cash App’s parent company, has never listed these tokens directly within its own app; instead, MoonPay handles the purchase and can send the assets to an external wallet of the user’s choosing. In sum, Cash App customers can now access tokens the platform itself has never supported.
Consequently, routing through Moonpay effectively lets Cash App offer a far broader token selection without having to build out listing and custody infrastructure for each asset itself.
Cash App Pay Joins a Growing List of Funding OptionsCash App Pay is now the third major payment method Moonpay supports for funding crypto purchases, joining Paypal, added in 2024, and Venmo. Once a purchase is made, Moonpay can deliver the tokens to a range of external wallets, including Trust Wallet, Bitcoin.com, Metamask, Moonshot, Ledger, Bitpay, Uniswap, Tangem, LOBSTR, and Edge, giving Cash App’s tens of millions of users a direct path into self-custody wallets rather than keeping funds parked inside Cash App itself.
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.
