MoonPay integrates Cash App Pay for cryptocurrency purchases in US

MoonPay has integrated Cash App Pay, allowing eligible U.S. users to purchase cryptocurrencies like ether, solana, XRP, and USDT directly using their Cash App balances. The integration connects Cash App's base of over 50 million users to external self-custody wallets like MetaMask and Ledger. This partnership allows Block to satisfy customer demand for diverse digital assets without building its own multi-token infrastructure, maintaining its core focus on bitcoin.
