MoonTags: Sending crypto as easy as sending a text 💌

We're thrilled to introduce MoonTags, which will vastly improve how you send and receive crypto. Gone are the days of complex wallet addresses and confusing networks. Now you can use a simple and unique username — your MoonTag — for all your transfers.

You’ll start with a default MoonTag from MoonPay, then personalize it with your own name and profile picture. You have the option to let other users find you via your MoonTag or phone number, giving you full control over your privacy settings.

Our goal is to make moving crypto as intuitive as sending a text message to a friend, unifying all your transactions under one easy-to-remember tag and hiding the technical details.

Grow your MoonTags address book and send any amount of crypto across the world. Send it in seconds, get it in minutes, for cents, without any crypto jargon. No long wallet addresses. No chain confusion. Just a MoonTag.

If you know how to send a text, you know how to send crypto 💌

Updates

  • 🔒 Smoother authentication: We know captchas can be frustrating, so we're optimizing them for key processes to speed up your login while still preventing malicious activity.
  • 🇩🇪 MoonPay Balance in Germany: Hallo! If you’re in Germany, you can now hold Euros in your MoonPay Balance and enjoy fast, low-cost, and secure access to 60+ cryptos with zero MoonPay fees. Top up with your favorite method (bank transfer, PayPal, Apple Pay or Open Banking), trade tokens instantly, and withdraw to your bank anytime with near-perfect acceptance rates.
  • 💌 Exchange assets with friends: There’s a new screen to quickly send or request assets. When sending, simply search your friend’s MoonTag, add a short note, and hit send. You can also receive payments (like that dinner with friends) in your favorite token.

Secure your assets and unlock them with a smile or touch 🫆

MoonPay is built with multiple layers of protection. And now, it includes biometric authentication. Your assets are always yours, and with Face ID, Touch ID or your device’s PIN, they are even more secure.

The app will lock automatically after inactivity or closure, and you can adjust lock settings anytime in the app. If you are a new user you will see a quick walkthrough to get started right away.

This update reduces fraud risks, protects against account takeovers, and delivers the same smooth experience you already expect from top FinTech and Web3 apps.

Updates

  • 📥 Easier deposits: We completely redesigned the deposit screen to make it simple and easy to add funds to your MoonPay account, whether you're topping up your balance or depositing assets like BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP or TRX.
  • 🪙 Transfer from Coinbase: We integrated with Coinbase and now you can seamlessly move assets directly from Coinbase to your MoonPay account using the revamped deposit screen.
  • 🇨🇦 Support for Interac e-Transfer® (Canada): You can now buy crypto using Interac e-Transfer®, the same trusted payment method you use for everything from coffee to rent. It’s fast, familiar, and offers better success rates for our Canadian users.
  • Custom loading screen: If you have an integration with MoonPay, you can now customize the loading screen to better match your brand. Choose between building your own loader or using our built-in theme customizer from the Partner dashboard.

moonpay staking

MoonPay Pots: Seed your crypto, grow your wealth 🌱

We're excited to unveil MoonPay Pots, making crypto work for you just like a savings account.

With Pots, we're making it easy to grow rewards on your crypto. Staking allows your crypto to earn passive rewards, but it's often too complicated. Our new feature wraps the power of crypto staking in a clean, intuitive experience, designed to feel simple and familiar.

This new feature lets you earn passive income by staking. We’re starting with SOL but more tokens and networks are coming soon. The entire process is designed for simplicity, abstracting away technical complexities. And for extra convenience you can personalize your Pot with a name, goal, emoji or color.

While staked, your crypto remains in your wallet and you can track your daily rewards in both SOL and fiat. At any time you can withdraw any amount of your Pot – you’re always in control.

Our new MoonPay Pots are now live in the US (except NY), Canada, ROW (except EEA) and UK.

You can start earning today with just $1 of SOL! 🌱

Improvements

  • Balance top up with Apple Pay: Users in the EU, UK, and US can now fund their MoonPay Balance using Apple Pay — a fast, trusted, and fee-free way to top up and buy crypto with zero MoonPay fees.
  • Support for Revolut Pay: It’s part of our mission to make payments more flexible, giving you the power to choose what works best for your moment. More ways to pay, more convenience for you, with trusted options like Revolut Pay now alongside card, Apple Pay, PayPal, Venmo, and open banking.
  • New Tron wallet: We integrated a TRON wallet directly into MoonPay’s account. We now fully support the TRON ecosystem, allowing you to seamlessly buy, sell, send, and store TRON-based assets like TRX and USDT (TRC-20).

Smooth. Simple. Speedy. Try our new Sell 💰

We've just launched our redesigned Sell!

Built with our new design system, this improved Sell flow is quicker and more intuitive. The completely refreshed and native interface makes converting your crypto to cash simpler than ever.

Forget manual transfers! When selling from your MoonPay account, we'll handle everything behind the scenes and your funds will automatically appear in your MoonPay Balance, card, PayPal, Venmo or bank account (ACH/SEPA). Support for selling from external wallets is coming soon.

Bonus: Selling to your MoonPay Balance is instant and fee-free—so more of your money stays where it belongs. Whether you’re cashing out, reinvesting or funding what's next, MoonPay lets you unlock your crypto’s value on your terms.

It’s “smooth selling” from here on out ⛵️

New & Improved

  • Buy memecoins with SOL: Besides USDC, you can now purchase Solana memecoins with SOL.
  • Cash out USDC without SOL: Ever found yourself unable to move your USDC profits because you didn’t own enough SOL to cover fees? Starting now, you can sell your USDC even without SOL. We'll simply use a portion of your USDC to cover the necessary transaction fees.
  • Track your Solana profits: You can now easily track the real-time profit and loss for each of your Solana tokens directly within the MoonPay app. This takes into account all on-chain transactions, even if they happened outside of the MoonPay app.
  • Scam alerts for DeFi: We introduced "Scam banners" for DeFi tokens. If a token has suspicious properties like low liquidity or concentrated ownership, we’ll warn you and explain the risks.
  • Faster transactions: Solana completion times have been drastically reduced from an average of 80 seconds to under 5 seconds, a 16x improvement. We've also sped up processing for other tokens by 15 seconds.
  • Enhanced login security: MoonPay has enhanced the account security with proactive login notifications for new devices, plus a session management screen where users can see and manage all their active sessions.
  • Simplified balance management: The home screen was redesigned to clearly display how much balance is available to trade. It is now easier to top up funds with a new deposit button, and you can see your funds across various networks (with more to come).
