FAQs
What’s Cash App’s Exchange Rate for Bitcoin?
Cash App uses the mid-market price when setting the Bitcoin exchange rate. This means the company gets its data from well-known cryptocurrency exchanges like Binance.
However, because cryptocurrencies are volatile, the rate changes frequently. Therefore, please check the rate when confirming your Bitcoin sell transaction on Cash App.
Can I Send the Bitcoin in My Cash App to Another Wallet?
Of course. You can withdraw the amount of Bitcoin you wish to send to any wallet address of your choice. Also, you can choose between three withdrawal speeds: Standard, Rush, or Priority. Withdraw at least 0.0001 worth of Bitcoin to send at Cash App’s Standard withdrawal speed and 0.00005 for Priority or Rush withdrawal speeds.
Does Cash App Charge a Fee When You Sell Bitcoin?
Yes. At the time of writing, Cash App charges a small fee when you sell Bitcoin with the app. However, you may not be charged if you use Standard withdrawal speeds.
Meanwhile, if you choose Rush or Priority withdrawal speeds when selling Bitcoin, the fee you’re charged will depend on how congested the blockchain is.
Final Thoughts
