MoonPay Launches MoonTags to Simplify Global Crypto Transfers

NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MoonPay, the global leader in crypto payments, today announced the launch of MoonTags, a new product that simplifies peer-to-peer crypto transfers across supported blockchains. Similar to a social media handle, each MoonTag serves as a single, personalized identifier to quickly and effortlessly send or receive crypto.

MoonTags make moving crypto as straightforward as sending a text message. MoonPay users simply search by MoonTag to send or request funds, bypassing the need to copy lengthy wallet addresses or select a blockchain.

"Transferring crypto shouldn't feel like a technical process," said Ivan Soto-Wright, CEO and co-founder of MoonPay. "MoonTags take the guesswork out of sending and receiving funds, making crypto movement feel as natural and intuitive as any modern payments experience."

Each MoonPay user automatically receives a default MoonTag, which can be customized at any time. Sending or requesting crypto is straightforward: search for a MoonTag, enter an amount, add an optional message, and send or request instantly — no wallet addresses or chain selection needed.

How MoonTags Work:

• Tap "Send" or "Request." Choose whether you want to send crypto or ask to receive it. 
• Search by MoonTag (e.g. @marco). Find friends easily with their MoonTag.
• Start sending. Send or request instantly — choose your coin and even add a personalized message. No separate fees to receive or send.*

MoonTags bring a human layer to crypto. Built for everyday users, powered by MoonPay's global infrastructure, and designed to make crypto sending feel as effortless as texting. Now available globally.**
