MoonPay launched a dedicated app inside ChatGPT’s App Store on May 22, allowing users to generate cryptocurrency purchase links without leaving OpenAI’s chatbot. The company called itself “the first and only crypto onramp integrated in ChatGPT” in its announcement post.
The integration supports Bitcoin, XRP, Ethereum, Solana, USDC, and more than 100 other digital assets across more than 30 chains. Users complete KYC and payment on moonpay.com after the chatbot generates a checkout link, with payment options including card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank transfer.
How the MoonPay ChatGPT integration works in practice
Users search for MoonPay in ChatGPT’s Apps section, connect their account, and then ask the chatbot about a cryptocurrency before requesting a specific purchase amount. ChatGPT fills in the asset, chain, and amount automatically and generates a checkout link. Returning MoonPay customers can use saved payment methods without setting up a new account.
“We’ve seen this with commerce and AI, where a lot of people get shopping recommendations within ChatGPT,” said Kevin Arifin, MoonPay Blockchain Engineer and Product Lead. “Now people are starting to do financial research within ChatGPT as well, and it’s always been surprising to me that there hasn’t been an on-ramp where you could buy crypto within ChatGPT.”
Arifin described the app’s role as educational. “It’s like a broker that sits by you, not making financial recommendations, but educating you about the asset you’re buying,” he said. The app is designed for mainstream consumers learning how crypto works through conversation, not autonomous AI trading.
What the launch means for MoonPay’s broader AI strategy
Crypto.news has reported on MoonPay’s acquisition of Dawn Labs and its launch of the Dawn CLI for AI-driven prediction market strategies. Crypto.news has also covered MoonPay Trade, an institutional platform providing banks and fintechs unified access to tokenized assets, DeFi and stablecoin liquidity.
MoonPay joins Kraken, OKX, CryptoAudit, and RealOpen as crypto-related apps active in the ChatGPT App Store. MoonPay’s integration is the only one allowing direct purchases rather than querying blockchain data. The Bitcoin price (BTC) and XRP (XRP) price pages track live movements for users who engage with either asset through the ChatGPT app.
