Elon Musk's X integrates MoonPay crypto payments into Grok AI chatbot globally

MoonPay has integrated its AI-enabled payment tool PayBox into Grok, X's chatbot, enabling users globally to conduct cryptocurrency transactions across multiple blockchain networks. Users can buy, lend, and move crypto through the service, which also supports non-crypto activities like booking flights. The integration includes Kamino, a Solana-based lending platform, allowing users to earn yield on USDC stablecoin. Users approve transactions with a passkey after Grok prepares them. This launch follows MoonPay's recent addition of crypto lending features for ChatGPT and Claude users outside the US, UK, EU, and Australia. The move reflects a broader industry trend toward "agentic commerce," with companies like Coinbase, Stripe, Visa, and Mastercard developing similar AI-powered payment tools.

MoonPay adds Kamino lending to PayBox for AI-driven crypto yield

MoonPay has integrated Kamino, a Solana-based lending protocol, into PayBox, its payment vault for AI assistants. The feature allows users to earn yield on cryptocurrency through conversational interactions with AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT. The integration is live outside the United States but not yet available to US users. Users can instruct AI assistants to open lending or borrowing positions, such as "lend $500 USDC on Kamino", with transactions requiring passkey approval before execution. PayBox connects to AI assistants through a custom connector. Wallet keys are secured using threshold cryptography and secure enclaves, preventing any single party from accessing full keys or authorising transactions alone. MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright described the move as part of a shift towards "agentic finance", where AI assistants handle financial tasks directly. Founded in 2019, MoonPay serves over 30 million customers across 180 countries.

MoonPay enables gasless transactions on TRON network processing $22B daily stablecoin volume

MoonPay has integrated the TRON network with its Trade infrastructure, enabling users to complete transactions without holding TRX to pay network fees. The integration brings gasless transactions to TRON, which supports over $22 billion in average daily transfer volume. Traditionally, users needed to maintain a balance of TRX, TRON's native utility token, to cover network fees when sending or swapping stablecoins. MoonPay's infrastructure abstracts these gas fees and incorporates them into the overall transaction, allowing users to transact with only the assets they hold. Trust Wallet is the first launch partner supporting the integration. The TRON blockchain has recorded over 396 million total user accounts and more than 15 billion total transactions as of August 2026.

MoonPay launches Paybox AI wallet for ChatGPT and Claude to complete purchases

MoonPay has launched Paybox, a wallet tool that enables non-technical consumers to make purchases through Claude and ChatGPT. The tool allows AI agents to complete transactions including flight bookings, restaurant reservations, and Amazon shopping. Users can add Paybox through Claude's Connectors menu without coding or special software. Once connected, they can fund the wallet via bank account or cryptocurrency and instruct their AI agent to make purchases in plain English. Paybox differs from similar offerings by Robinhood and Coinbase through its decentralised design using the x402 protocol, meaning it operates independently and doesn't favour specific merchants. Users can set spending limits or require purchase notifications. However, MoonPay faces adoption challenges as it's primarily known as a backend payment service, whilst competitors like Robinhood and Visa can leverage existing customer bases. Questions remain about handling mistaken or fraudulent purchases.
