Cash App users can now buy Ether, Solana, XRP and more through MoonPay Checkout, expanding the popular payments app's crypto purchase options well beyond its long-standing Bitcoin focus.
The update lets Cash App users tap MoonPay Checkout to purchase multiple cryptocurrencies inside the app, according to MoonPay's announcement. Ether, Solana and XRP are named among the assets now accessible. For related coverage, see Strategy Raises $334M, Adds No Bitcoin for 8th Straight Week.
For most of its history, Cash App has been known primarily as a gateway to Bitcoin. The MoonPay-powered checkout flow adds a path to additional digital assets, as reported by Unchained. For related coverage, see Strategy Keeps Bitcoin Holdings Flat, Builds Cash and Buys Back More STRC.
The move builds on Cash App's earlier step to expand crypto support beyond Bitcoin and USDC through MoonPay, extending that partnership into a broader set of tokens.
Bringing MoonPay Checkout into Cash App gives existing users a familiar, in-app way to reach more than one major cryptocurrency without leaving the payments environment they already use.
A widely used consumer payments app offering more crypto choices can lower friction for retail users exploring assets beyond Bitcoin. The scope of adoption remains to be seen, but the added asset choice broadens exposure for Cash App's base.
The integration also shows how third-party infrastructure can accelerate a product's crypto expansion. Rather than building each rail in-house, Cash App is leaning on MoonPay's checkout layer, which MoonPay documents as Cash App Pay.
The phrasing "and more" points to a wider list of supported assets beyond Ether, Solana and XRP, though the full lineup and rollout scope were not detailed in the announcement.
Open questions include how broadly the feature is available and whether the checkout flow reaches all users at launch. These details will shape how meaningful the expansion proves to be.
The step lands amid growing competition among consumer finance apps to offer crypto access. As traditional finance players deepen their crypto exposure, from JPMorgan boosting Bitcoin and Ether ETF positions to Fidelity pursuing staking and cash payouts for an Ether ETF, distribution through everyday apps like Cash App marks another front in that push.
