MoonPay Launches MoonPay Trade to Help Institutions Access Over 200 Blockchains

Highlights:

• MoonPay launched MoonPay Trade to connect institutions to over 200 blockchains via a single API.
• The platform supports onchain trading, settlement, conversion, payments, and more than 120 fiat currencies.
• MoonPay Trade uses Decent.xyz technology to support cross-chain routing and tokenized asset access.

MoonPay has launched MoonPay Trade, a new platform that gives institutions, enterprises, and applications access to digital assets across more than 200 blockchains and protocols via a single application programming interface. The company announced the launch in New York on Thursday, through its original PR Newswire release.

The new platform aims to make onchain trading and settlement easier for businesses that want to use digital assets but do not want to build separate connections to many blockchains. In crypto, liquidity is spread across several chains, trading venues, and protocols. For many firms, connecting to each network directly can require significant engineering effort. MoonPay said MoonPay Trade brings these services into one integration.

MoonPay Trade handles onchain transaction execution, settlement, conversion, and payments in more than 120 fiat currencies. Fiat currencies are traditional currencies such as the U.S. dollar, euro, or British pound. The platform is designed to connect traditional payment systems with blockchain markets in a simpler way.

MoonPay Trade Brings Cross-Chain Access Into One Platform

MoonPay said the platform uses the technology and team from Decent.xyz, a cross-chain routing company it acquired. Decent’s technology helps users move across different blockchains and find execution paths across many networks. MoonPay Trade will also support MoonPay Institutional, the company’s business unit for regulated financial services firms. Former acting Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Caroline D. Pham leads that unit.

The platform supports several services for institutional users. These include cross-chain routing, collateral movement, fiat-to-onchain liquidity, compliance tools, and unified balances across chains. MoonPay said the platform covers major networks and markets, including Ethereum, Solana, Base, Hyperliquid, and Bitcoin.

MoonPay Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder Ivan Soto-Wright said:

“Institutions are tokenizing funds, moving collateral across chains, and settling in dozens of currencies. The market is here. MoonPay Trade brings all of that together in one platform for any institution, enterprise, or application.”

Pham also said major financial institutions are building tokenized asset strategies. She added that MoonPay Trade gives firms a single technology platform to access onchain markets with compliance support.

Decent.xyz Technology Powers the New Service

MoonPay said Decent’s routing engine powers MoonPay Trade. Decent was founded in 2021 by Charlie Durbin, Will Collier, Will Kantaros, and Xander Carlson. The company developed bridge infrastructure, routing algorithms, and an aggregation layer that supports execution across more than 200 chains and millions of assets.

Since joining MoonPay, the Decent team has extended its trading APIs for institutional use cases. These include stablecoin trading facilities and vault integrations that can help asset managers distribute tokenized funds. MoonPay Trade also includes an automated market maker solution built for stablecoin trades routed through MoonPay’s APIs.

MoonPay said this liquidity layer can support onchain subscriptions and redemptions for tokenized funds. It can also connect with decentralized finance use cases, including vault integrations on Morpho, Aave, and Maple Finance.

MoonPay Expands Its Tokenized Asset Infrastructure

The launch comes as MoonPay continues to build infrastructure for tokenized financial services. The company said it has made more than six acquisitions over the past 18 months across payments, stablecoins, digital asset custody, and onchain trade execution. MoonPay Trade also follows its acquisition of DFlow, a Solana trading infrastructure provider that processed more than $12 billion in trading volume in the first quarter of the year.

MoonPay said tokenized real-world assets have passed $25 billion in onchain value, compared with less than $2 billion three years ago. The company also pointed to growing institutional interest in tokenized funds and decentralized finance. For businesses, MoonPay Trade offers one route to access these markets without building separate systems for every blockchain.

Founded in 2019, MoonPay helps businesses and consumers move value between fiat money and digital assets. The company says it serves more than 30 million customers across 180 countries and supports more than 500 enterprise customers in the crypto and fintech sectors.
