Cash App is already part of the financial lives of millions of people. Alongside sending money, using a Cash App Card, investing, and other financial features, customers can also buy and sell Bitcoin directly in the app. For someone who already has a Cash App account, that familiarity can make it an appealing place to buy Bitcoin, as there’s no new app to learn.
Cash App Pay extends some of that convenience beyond Cash App itself by letting eligible US customers use their Cash App balance as a payment method elsewhere.
In this guide, we’ll look at how buying and selling Bitcoin works in Cash App, what Cash App Pay adds, and how you can use it when buying and selling crypto in Edge through MoonPay.
Buying and selling Bitcoin with Cash App
Cash App lets customers make one-time Bitcoin purchases as well as automate purchases through features such as Auto Invest, Round Ups, and Paid in Bitcoin. Users can also sell Bitcoin held in Cash App and receive the proceeds in dollars through their Cash App balance.
For existing Cash App customers, the appeal is straightforward. They may already have an account, know how to use the app, and keep funds there. Buying and selling Bitcoin becomes another financial function available within a product they already use.
What is Cash App Pay?
Cash App Pay is a payment method that lets eligible US Cash App customers use their Cash App balance outside of Cash App itself.
That means the money you already keep in Cash App can be used in supported checkout experiences without entering card details each time. You link your Cash App account once and approve the connection directly through Cash App.
For crypto purchases and sales, Cash App Pay handles the payment side of the experience. The provider powering the checkout handles the underlying digital-asset transaction.
For people who already use Cash App alongside a separate self-custody crypto wallet, this creates a simple benefit: the balance you already have in Cash App can become another way to fund your crypto activity.
Cash App Pay is available through MoonPay in Edge
In Edge, Cash App Pay is available through MoonPay, one of the providers we integrate for buying and selling digital assets. MoonPay facilitates the transaction, Cash App Pay provides the payment method, and we provide the self-custody wallet.
For someone who already uses both Edge and Cash App, that means you can use your Cash App balance when buying and selling supported digital assets without having to do so in Cash App itself.
We built Edge around self-custody, with the goal of making direct control of digital assets simple to use. Edge also supports a broad range of cryptocurrencies, along with integrated services for buying, selling, and swapping supported assets. Cash App Pay adds another familiar payment option to that experience.
