The payments firm joins others including PayPal and Coinbase in allowing users to send crypto as payments or gifts to third parties.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">With Cash App, you can now send as little as $1 in stock or bitcoin. It\u2019s as easy as sending cash, and you don&#8217;t need to own stock or bitcoin to gift it. So this holiday season, forget the scented candles or novelty beach towel, and help your cousin start investing. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HS0CqusiLS\">pic.twitter.com\/HS0CqusiLS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Cash App (@CashApp) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CashApp\/status\/1470800797705322502?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 14, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\nCointelegraph reported on Dec. 7 that a study by lending firm BlockFi showed many Americans would be willing to accept cryptocurrencies including BTC, Ether (ETH), and Dogecoin (DOGE) as gifts this holiday season. However, the same survey revealed that the majority of respondents did not have the skills to transfer crypto. Many critics have attributed sending BTC to newbies as part of the reason so many coins have been lost since 2009.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Gifting crypto to loved ones this holiday?

Fintech provider Unbanked announced earlier this month it would be enabling crypto donations for Toys for Tots, a program run by the United States Marine Corps that collects toys to distribute to disadvantaged children. In addition, platforms like the Giving Block allow non-profit organizations and charities to accept donations in crypto.<\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"markets_outlook\"><\/template>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
