Cash App is expanding its cryptocurrency services beyond Bitcoin and USDC through a new integration with crypto payments provider MoonPay.
Eligible customers in the United States will be able to use their Cash App balances to purchase a wider selection of digital assets available through MoonPay. These include Ether, Solana, XRP and Tether’s USDT, the world’s largest stablecoin by market capitalization.
The partnership represents a significant expansion for Cash App, which has historically focused almost exclusively on Bitcoin.
Rather than adding native support for every cryptocurrency, the service will use MoonPay’s infrastructure to provide customers with access to more assets and wallets.
Cash App Balances Can Fund External Wallets
The integration will allow customers to use their Cash App balances when funding several external cryptocurrency wallets through MoonPay.
Supported wallets and applications include Ledger, BitPay, Trust Wallet, MetaMask and Uniswap, among others. This means customers can purchase digital assets through MoonPay and send them to compatible self-custody wallets or cryptocurrency applications.
The arrangement could simplify the process of moving money from a mainstream payments account into the wider digital-asset ecosystem. Users would no longer need to rely solely on bank cards or transfers when purchasing cryptocurrencies through MoonPay.
However, the assets will be provided through MoonPay rather than supported directly within Cash App’s native trading infrastructure.
Cash App was developed by Block, the financial technology company led by Bitcoin advocate Jack Dorsey. With more than 50 million customers, the mobile payments platform is one of the most prominent mainstream gateways into cryptocurrency in the United States.
Until recently, its crypto services were primarily limited to Bitcoin. Cash App began broadening its strategy earlier in 2026 when it introduced support for USDC, the second-largest stablecoin by market value.
The MoonPay partnership takes that expansion further by giving customers access to cryptocurrencies that compete with Bitcoin and support different blockchain ecosystems.
Ether powers the Ethereum network, while SOL is used across the Solana ecosystem. XRP supports payments and transfers on the XRP Ledger, and USDT is widely used for trading and dollar-denominated transactions.
Block Avoids Building Infrastructure for Every Asset
Supporting several cryptocurrencies directly would require Block to develop additional custody, compliance, liquidity and blockchain-integration systems.
The MoonPay partnership allows Cash App to meet customer demand for more digital assets without building all that infrastructure internally.
MoonPay will provide the underlying payment and cryptocurrency-access capabilities, while Cash App supplies the funding method.
The structure also allows Block to preserve its Bitcoin-focused identity while offering customers more flexibility.
“While bitcoin remains at the core of our digital asset strategy, we want to give customers choice and flexibility however they choose to pay,” Morgan Kuntze, Block’s global partnerships lead, said in Tuesday’s announcement.
The expansion comes despite Dorsey’s longstanding preference for Bitcoin over other cryptocurrencies.
The Block co-founder previously said he was uncomfortable with supporting stablecoins but acknowledged that Cash App customers wanted access to them.
“I don’t think it’s wise to go from one gatekeeper to another,” Dorsey said in March.
His comments reflected concerns that stablecoins could recreate centralized financial intermediaries rather than provide the decentralized alternative envisioned by Bitcoin supporters.
Nevertheless, the USDC rollout and MoonPay partnership show Block responding to consumer demand for a broader range of digital assets.
The strategy allows Cash App to maintain Bitcoin as its primary native crypto offering while using a third party to connect customers to the wider market.
