Cash App Unlocks Bitcoin for Everyday Payments, Adds Stablecoin Support

November 13, 2025

The new features will enable customers to spend their bitcoin locally and make fast, low-cost payments on the platform

Customers will soon have the option to send and receive stablecoins on Cash App

Cash App today announced new features that will soon allow eligible customers to spend bitcoin at local businesses, convert USD into bitcoin payments, and send and receive stablecoins. Soon, millions of Cash App customers will be able to make fast, low-cost payments even if they don’t hold bitcoin.  The announcements come as part of Cash App Releases, Cash App’s first-ever bundled launch of new products and features for customers.

“We believe that bitcoin is the future of the financial ecosystem, but to truly become everyday money, it needs to be more flexible and easier to use,” said Miles Suter, Bitcoin Product Lead at Block. “Bitcoin was created to be an electronic peer-to-peer cash system, and Cash App is building new tools that help make bitcoin work as it was intended: open, fast, and borderless money that works for everyone.” 

Introducing Bitcoin Payments with USD

Starting later this month, eligible Cash App customers will be able to send money over the Lightning Network without having to spend or hold bitcoin. 

Once available, eligible customers will be able to turn their USD into bitcoin payments with just a tap. After scanning a Lightning QR code, customers can toggle the “Cash” currency option within Cash App, which will pull the funds from their USD Cash balance. While the customer is spending dollars, merchants will still receive bitcoin. 

Bitcoin Payments with USD will work at any business where bitcoin is accepted, meaning that millions more Cash App customers can make everyday payments in seconds over the Lightning Network without holding bitcoin.  

Bitcoin Map: Connecting Consumers with Local Businesses 

Building on Square's recent launch of bitcoin payments and conversions for eligible sellers, Cash App has introduced a new, interactive map within the app that allows customers to discover Square businesses and other merchants nearby who accept bitcoin. All eligible customers can now use Cash App to find and get directions to participating businesses.  If the business accepts Lightning payments, customers can also make a payment in seconds by scanning the business’s Lightning QR code.

About 20% of Americans consider bitcoin as a new form of money, and about 20% also say they would be comfortable using bitcoin for their everyday financial needs.¹ Now, Cash App and Square are providing both sides of the counter seamless access to fast and low-cost payments over the Lightning Network.

Send and Receive Stablecoins on Cash App

For the first time, Cash App will soon provide access to stablecoins, allowing customers to send and receive digital dollars nearly anywhere in seconds. Stablecoins are designed to maintain the value of the U.S. dollar while offering speed, stability, and global reach. By introducing the ability to send and receive stablecoins, Cash App is offering another way for customers to make fast and seamless transfers. 

“Cash App is - and always will be - bitcoin-first by design,” added Suter. “We see stablecoins on Cash App as a complementary option for our customers and an improvement from legacy payment rails. Bitcoin serves as the foundation for an open and borderless financial system, while stablecoins serve as a stepping stone to quickly move digital dollars.”

Once available, stablecoins on Cash App will be interoperable with a customer’s USD Cash balance. Customers will be able to send stablecoins through the Payment tab on Cash App by pasting the recipient’s wallet address in the search bar, and they will be able to receive stablecoins by selecting “Deposit Stablecoins” from the Money tab. Cash App will then instantly convert them into U.S. dollars in the customer’s Cash balance. 

Auto Invest on Cash App Without Fees

Since 2018, Cash App has made it easy for 24 million actives to buy bitcoin on the platform.² Cash App customers can buy bitcoin with as little as $1, and Paid In Bitcoin enables customers to convert a percentage of their direct deposits into bitcoin with zero fees or spreads. To build upon the brand’s commitment to make bitcoin more accessible every day, Cash App is now eliminating fees and spreads for regularly scheduled buys through Auto Invest, making Cash App one of the most affordable places for customers to buy bitcoin.
