Discover Network Joins MoonPay for Crypto Purchases

6 sourcesUpdated Jul 23, 2026

MoonPay has added Discover Network to its US payment options, making Discover the third major card rail alongside Visa and Mastercard. The expansion enables Discover cardholders to buy and sell crypto through MoonPay’s network of more than 500 enterprise partners, including wallets, exchanges, and apps. MoonPay frames the move as part of its broader strategy to ensure every familiar payment method works for crypto, a pattern it began with PayPal and Venmo. Individual card-issuing banks still decide whether specific Discover transactions can be used for cryptocurrency purchases. In addition to card networks, MoonPay already supports methods like Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Venmo, bank transfers, and regional rails, broadening checkout options for users. The deal positions MoonPay to operate across all three major US card rails and continue expanding its crypto on-ramp infrastructure.

Revolut User Sends $5K Bitcoin to Satoshi

A Revolut user sent about $5,000 in Bitcoin to addresses believed to belong to Satoshi Nakamoto, with a sequence of small test transfers culminating in a final 0.033 BTC transfer from Revolut’s shared hot wallet. Because the funds were sent to Satoshi’s addresses, which are controlled by no one, the transaction effectively burns the coins, highlighting the unrecoverable nature of such transfers and the potential symbolic or attention-seeking motives behind them.
