MoonPay has added Cash App Pay as a payment option for crypto purchases, giving eligible US customers another way to fund transactions with balances already held in the mobile payments app. The integration is available through MoonPay’s own checkout and selected partners, including Trust Wallet, MetaMask, Ledger, Uniswap and others. MoonPay said the move lets users buy crypto without switching apps or logging in again. The company now supports Cash App, PayPal and Venmo, after adding PayPal in 2024 and later expanding to Venmo. Cash App, operated by Block, already lets users buy and sell Bitcoin in-app and had 59 million active users in June, according to Block’s second-quarter shareholder report. MoonPay co-founder and CEO Ivan Soto-Wright said the integration gives tens of millions of Americans access to the digital asset ecosystem through an app they already know and trust. The company also noted its New York and EU regulatory authorizations, while continuing to expand beyond fiat-to-crypto onramps through acquisitions in 2026.

MoonPay has introduced PayBox, a non-custodial payment vault that lets users carry out crypto transactions and online purchases through AI assistants including ChatGPT and Claude. The product supports Solana as well as Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible networks, extending its reach across multiple blockchain environments. PayBox works through custom connectors and natural-language commands, allowing users to instruct AI tools to handle specific payment and transaction tasks. To control those permissions, users can set Passkey-based authorization and spending limits. The product also supports a range of use cases beyond basic transfers, including digital asset purchases, cross-chain bridging, and commercial payments such as booking flights and restaurant reservations. For security, private keys are stored using multi-party computation shard storage, according to the report cited by Techub News from crypto.news.

Robinhood reported the strongest quarter in its history, posting $1.31 billion in net revenue, $573 million in net income, diluted EPS of $0.62, and total platform assets of $369 billion. One of the standout figures came from its prediction market business, where event contracts generated $156 million in revenue, topping both crypto and equities for the first time. CEO Vlad Tenev also highlighted Robinhood Chain, saying its DEXs have processed more than $12 billion in volume, the network reached 100 million transactions at record speed, and TVL stands around $325 million. Outside the company, crypto markets were largely flat after the FOMC, with BTC at $64.8K, while SEC Chair Paul Atkins said the agency is prepared to draft crypto market rules on its own if the CLARITY Act does not move forward. The broader update also covered ETF flows, Coinbase ahead of earnings, MoonPay’s PayBox launch, Binance US’s plan to seek DCM status, and activity across meme coins, DeFi protocols, and NFTs.

MoonPay has launched PayBox, a payment vault that connects to Claude and ChatGPT and lets AI agents complete transactions after user approval. The system stores crypto wallets and payment cards in a secure vault, lines up transactions inside the chat flow, and uses a passkey on the user’s device to authorize payment. At launch, PayBox supports restaurant reservations, flight bookings, shopping across major online retailers, token swaps, cross-chain fund transfers, and routing assets into DeFi protocols such as Aave. It starts with support for Solana and seven Ethereum-compatible chains: Ethereum, Hyperliquid, Tempo, Base, Robinhood Chain, Arbitrum, and Polygon. MoonPay also said PayBox works with x402, the open payments protocol developed by Coinbase and later donated to the Linux Foundation, now supported by Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Shopify, AWS, and Anthropic. The infrastructure comes from Sodot, the Israeli key management startup MoonPay acquired in April for roughly $100 million in an all-stock deal. According to MoonPay, wallet keys are split with MPC and stored across TEEs so no single party, including MoonPay or the AI agent, can access a full key or sign on its own.

MoonPay has rolled out PayBox, a new AI payments tool that can be connected to ChatGPT or Claude, according to The Block. The product is designed to let AI assistants prepare transactions for activities such as booking flights, reserving restaurants, and making online purchases. Users can either require passkey approval for every transaction or set spending limits that allow the AI to complete payments on its own. PayBox combines a crypto wallet with a payment card and supports cross-chain transactions based on the x402 agent payment standard. At launch, it works with Solana and a range of EVM-compatible networks, including Ethereum, Hyperliquid, Tempo, Base, Robinhood Chain, Arbitrum, and Polygon. MoonPay said it plans to add support for more AI platforms and DeFi features, including token swaps and perpetual futures trading, within the next month. The company also said wallet private keys are protected through MPC and TEE, while card information is stored in a way that lets AI agents complete purchases without accessing the underlying card details.
