Bitcoin.com has announced that U.S. users can now use Venmo to buy Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies through the Bitcoin.com Wallet app and the company’s web portal, with the service enabled by payments infrastructure provider MoonPay. The move expands the platform’s payment options and aims to make crypto purchases more accessible for mainstream users in the United States.
Venmo Added as a New Payment Option
According to the announcement, Bitcoin.com is among the first MoonPay partners to offer Venmo as a payment method. The integration gives U.S. customers another familiar checkout option when purchasing digital assets directly on the platform. With more than 60 million users in the United States, Venmo is already widely used for fast and seamless payments, making it a recognizable on-ramp for potential crypto buyers.
Bitcoin.com said the addition is designed to streamline the checkout process for users acquiring Bitcoin and other digital assets. By bringing in a payment method many Americans already trust and use regularly, the company is seeking to reduce friction in the buying experience and simplify direct access to crypto.
Broader Push for Payment Flexibility
Venmo joins Bitcoin.com’s existing list of payment methods for U.S. users, which already includes PayPal, credit cards, and debit cards. The company said offering multiple payment options gives users more flexibility based on their habits and preferences, while Venmo stands out for its accessibility and ease of use.
In the statement, Bitcoin.com CEO Corbin Fraser said buying Bitcoin can be difficult when some banks block users from accessing what he described as a strong asset. He added that he is pleased to see companies such as Venmo making it easier for people to use their money. The comment underscores a broader industry effort to improve payment access for crypto purchases.
MoonPay Partnership Moves Forward
The Venmo rollout is part of Bitcoin.com’s broader partnership with MoonPay, a global payments infrastructure provider. That partnership was first announced in September, and the latest integration marks another step in expanding available payment rails for Bitcoin.com’s user base. The company said its ongoing focus on simplifying user experience and increasing payment choice helps reinforce its position in the crypto sector.
Founded in the crypto space in 2015, Bitcoin.com offers tools, educational content, and resources for buying, selling, trading, and using Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, with a stated goal of making digital assets more accessible to a wider audience.
