Grok Integrates MoonPay's AI-Powered Payment Tool for Global Crypto Transactions

The intersection of AI and finance has reached new heights with the launch of PayBox, an AI-enabled payment and wallet tool within X's native chatbot Grok. MoonPay, a crypto payments company, announced its integration into Grok, allowing users to carry out various crypto transactions across different blockchain networks.

The service is available globally and lets people use Kamino, a Solana-based crypto lending platform, to earn yield on USDC, the dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by Circle. Users can also delegate tasks ranging from small online payments and shopping to buying crypto and moving money to AI agents.

MoonPay's integration into Grok 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, companies such as Coinbase, Stripe, Visa, and Mastercard have announced initiatives that let users delegate tasks to AI agents.
