Cash App Launches $25 NFC Payment Wand for Gen Z as Block Eyes Wearable Tags

Summary
June 4 marked Cash App’s debut of the $25 Cash App Wand, a pearlescent, star-tipped NFC accessory that links to a Cash App Visa Card and works anywhere Visa tap-to-pay is accepted.
Cash App is pitching the Wand less as a wallet replacement than as a fashion-like payment accessory for Gen Z, a group it says buys collectibles and limited-edition items more often than other generations.
The device targets situations where phones or cards are inconvenient—such as festivals, phone-free venues or gym bags—by letting users tap to pay from a keychain-sized accessory.
Block says the Wand is the first in a broader Cash App Tags line, with future NFC payment form factors potentially extending to jewelry and clothing.
Available now through the Cash App for eligible users aged 13 and up, the Wand is being released in limited batches before a wider summer rollout.
