The privacy-focused messenger app Signal announced a new beta version today, with support for cryptocurrency payments.
Signal users in the UK can now send and receive MobileCoin—a “privacy coin” in the vein of Zcash and Monero—directly in the app. Where Bitcoin is transparent, in the sense that transactions are recorded on a public ledger, privacy coins aim to keep transactions obscured; they still have ledgers, but the information is scrambled. MobileCoin is built on modified components from Stellar, another cryptocurrency, but operates on its own blockchain.
Right now, the only place you can actually get your hands on MobileCoin is FTX, the trading site led by crypto wunderkind Sam Bankman-Fried.
Signal has been teasing a move into crypto for some time. The app’s creator, Moxie Marlinspike, has been an advisor for the MobileCoin network since its inception in 2017. Platformer reported that the app was exploring a MobileCoin implementation earlier this year (and that some developers weren’t happy about the regulatory hurdles it might involve).
The Signal Foundation, the nonprofit that’s responsible for the app, started accepting donations in cryptocurrency last month.
The nonprofit behind the privacy-focused messenger app Signal has started accepting donations in cryptocurrency. According to a new landing page on the Signal Foundation’s site, these payments will be processed through The Giving Block, a company which facilitates crypto donations for nonprofits. The site is taking the two most popular cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as altcoins such as Litecoin, Chainlink, and Zcash, which is a so-called “privacy coin.” Signal works a little li...
"I would like to get to a world where not only can you feel that when you talk to your therapist over Signal, but also when you pay your therapist for the session over Signal,” Marlinspike told Wired.
Privacy purists like Signal for its end-to-end encryption—a type of privacy protection that prevents anyone but the sender and receiver from seeing messages. Something like Facebook Messenger, on the other hand, absorbs user data and sells it to third parties.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who doesn’t typically create accounts on rival services, recently started using Signal himself.

Telegram’s native crypto wallet is beginning its roll out for U.S. residents, allowing them to buy, sell, and send cryptocurrencies directly within the messaging app. Built by The Open Network (TON) ecosystem developer The Open Platform—which was recently valued at $1 billion following its latest funding round—the TON Wallet is a self-custody wallet that first launched for international users back in September 2023. "The timing of our U.S. launch was guided by product scaling readiness and mark...
Amazon’s Ring cameras went viral, and for all the wrong reasons, as users flooded TikTok, Reddit, and X with reports of suspicious logins to their accounts. Screenshots posted online showed unknown devices accessing user accounts, fueling concerns about a potential breach in Amazon’s home security network. All of the mysterious breaches occurred on May 28, 2025. Ring denied that a hack had taken place, and in a status update, blamed the issue on a backend update. “We are aware of an issue where...
Coinbase unveiled its new mobile app, Base—a rebrand and expansion of the company’s Coinbase Wallet during a standing-room-only event in Los Angeles on Wednesday. The crypto faithful packed the venue to witness the reveal of the app, which had gone live earlier that day. Billed as an “everything app” for the on-chain economy, Base aims to go beyond simple transactions, giving users the tools to create, earn, message, game, and interact with AI, all within a single platform. “We’re going from a s...
