WhatsApp users will be able to send crypto payments
WhatsApp has launched a new pilot that will allow a "limited number" of people in the US to send and receive money in cryptocurrency within a chat. The feature is powered by Novi, Meta's digital wallet that launched as a pilot six weeks ago. Payments are made using Pax Dollars (USDP), a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. Sending a payment works similarly to sending any other attachment in WhatsApp. You access the feature via the paperclip icon on Android or the + icon on iOS, then select "Payment" from the menu that appears.It's worth noting that there are no fees for sending or receiving money, there are no limits on the frequency of payments, and there are no fees for maintaining a balance in your Novi account or transferring money to your bank account. Payments are also transferred immediately. The Novi pilot will only be available in the US and will not impact WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption, which is used by default for all personal conversations.
The plans are in line with Meta it's previous crypto plans
The plans align with former Facebook now Meta Platforms' earlier plans to develop and launch a cryptocurrency called Diem, but the company had to change direction due to regulatory concerns. Meta eventually launched the wallet developed by the company without Diem. Instead, Pax Dollars are the creation of a separate company called Paxos and Meta relies on cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase as a custodian partner.WhatsApp's US payments plans currently revolve around Novi and cryptocurrencies, but WhatsApp already offers payments in traditional fiat currencies elsewhere in the world. The feature launched in India last year and is now available in Brazil.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
