The era of buying crypto on social media has arrived. Crypto payments company MoonPay announced Monday that it launched PayBox, its AI-enabled payment and wallet tool, inside Grok, X’s native chatbot. The service is available globally and lets people carry out a variety of crypto transactions across different blockchain networks.
MoonPay’s Grok launch reflects a broader push to turn AI chatbots from tools that answer questions into tools that can carry out financial tasks. Over the past two years, crypto and payments companies, including Coinbase, Stripe, Visa, and Mastercard have announced initiatives that let users delegate tasks ranging from small online payments and shopping to buying crypto and moving money to AI agents.
