MoonPay has completed the acquisition and full integration of Decent.xyz to launch MoonPay Trade, a single API platform that gives institutions, enterprises and applications access to digital assets and onchain liquidity across more than 200 blockchains and protocols. Positioned as the execution core for MoonPay Institutional, the new stack consolidates fragmented venues into one integration that manages transaction execution, settlement, FX conversion in over 120 fiat currencies and compliance for regulated financial firms.
By embedding Decent’s cross-chain routing engine and bridge infrastructure, MoonPay Trade enables low-latency execution, collateral mobility across permissioned and permissionless networks and unified balances across chains to streamline complex tokenized workflows. The platform extends MoonPay’s earlier focus on fiat on- and off-ramps into end-to-end infrastructure for tokenized funds, stablecoins and DeFi access, complementing the recent acquisition of Solana-focused trading provider DFlow, which processed more than $12 billion in volume in the first quarter of 2026.
MoonPay positions Trade as the critical missing link for institutions looking to operate in the rapidly expanding tokenized asset market, which has grown from under $2 billion in onchain value to more than $25 billion in three years and could reach tens of trillions of dollars by 2035 according to industry forecasts. The platform is designed to support tokenized fund subscriptions and redemptions, cross-chain collateral management and onchain settlement, while leveraging MoonPay’s regulatory footprint, including a New York BitLicense, limited purpose trust charter, U.S. money transmitter licenses and MiCA authorization in the European Union.
Decent’s technology adds a generalized cross-chain transaction layer and proprietary automated market maker optimized for stablecoin trading, enabling 1:1 quotes for flows routed through MoonPay’s APIs and powering integrations with yield platforms such as Morpho, Aave and Maple Finance. Since joining MoonPay, the Decent team has refocused its APIs for institutional applications, including dedicated stablecoin trading facilities and vault connections that support distribution of tokenized products for asset managers, enhancing MoonPay’s ability to service enterprise clients.
Executives at MoonPay underscore that every major financial institution is shaping a tokenized asset strategy and require infrastructure that bridges traditional payment rails with onchain markets at scale. MoonPay Trade is intended to close that gap by providing a compliant access point to DeFi protocols and tokenized securities markets with institutional-grade KYC, AML and reporting systems that can be embedded directly into banks, asset managers or fintech platforms.
Strategically, the launch of MoonPay Trade caps an 18‑month acquisition-led expansion across payments, stablecoins, custody and execution, positioning the company as a vertically integrated provider of digital asset infrastructure rather than solely a fiat on-ramp. With more than 30 million customers across 180 countries and over 500 enterprise partners, MoonPay is now seeking to monetize the structural shift toward tokenization by offering a full-stack solution for value transfer between fiat and digital assets, targeting growing institutional demand for compliant access to onchain liquidity.
