You are now permanently teleported to moonpay.com, where the real party begins: KYC, wallet connection, jurisdiction checks, payment processing, fees, and everything else MoonPay loves to handle.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>The app’s own description is brutally honest if you bother to read it: “The app only generates buy-links… All payment activity, KYC, and regulatory controls occur at moonpay.com… ChatGPT does not act as an exchange, broker, wallet, custodian, or payment processor.”\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cpicture>\u003Csource srcset=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/0001/image-2026-05-30t175538372.webp\" type=\"image/webp\">\u003Cimg alt=\"The ChatGPT Crypto "Buy Button" Hype: MoonPay Just Mastered the Old Plugin Scam Playbook\" class=\"image-align-left\" height=\"223\" src=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/0001/image-2026-05-30t175538372.jpg\" width=\"150\" />\u003C/picture>In other words: exactly the same thing that happened with every shady plugin in 2023-2024.

Their post with the OpenAI association went nuclear. Media picked it up instantly (“You can now buy Bitcoin inside ChatGPT!”).
