Block, the fintech company run by Jack Dorsey, reported that its financial platform Cash App has 59 million active users as of June 2026.
Until recently, those users could only buy <a href="https://xpertsstudio.com/bitcoin-holds-64600-as-trump-rules-out-iran-talks/” title=”Bitcoin holds $64,600 as Trump rules out Iran talks”>Bitcoin (BTC) and USD Coin (USDC) through the app. Now, a new integration with MoonPay changes that.
MoonPay announced on Aug. 18 that Cash App Pay is live as a payment method on its platform. Eligible US customers can use their Cash App balance to buy a wider range of digital assets. The purchase goes through without switching apps or completing a separate login.
Cash App Pay Extends Digital Asset Access Without Block Building New Pipes
The move lets Cash App users buy Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP (XRP) and Tether (USDT) through MoonPay’s platform. Block is not required to build or maintain the underlying infrastructure for those assets itself. Morgan Kuntze, Block’s global partnerships lead, said the company wants to give customers “choice and flexibility however they choose to pay” while keeping BTC at the center of its digital asset strategy.
Cash App added USDC support earlier in 2026. Dorsey said in March that he personally dislikesstablecoins but acknowledged that his customers want them. The MoonPay integration extends that logic further, offering a broader set of assets through a third-party provider instead.
The Cash App Pay option works through MoonPay’s own checkout and 10 partner platforms. Those partners are Trust Wallet, Bitcoin(dot)com, MetaMask, Moonshot, Ledger, BitPay, Uniswap, Tangem, LOBSTR and Edge. Ivan Soto-Wright, co-founder and CEO of MoonPay, said the goal is to let users “access the digital asset ecosystem, funded instantly from an app they already know and trust.”
