MoonPay Unveils Institutional Platform for Tokenized Assets and DeFi

MoonPay has made a significant move in the financial technology space with the launch of MoonPay Trade, an institutional platform designed to provide banks, fintechs, and enterprises with unified access to tokenized assets, DeFi protocols, and stablecoin liquidity.

The platform will serve as the core execution layer for MoonPay's newly launched MoonPay Institutional business, which is built on top of its recent acquisition of Israeli digital asset security firm Sodot. This move marks a strategic reorientation for the company, shifting from being primarily known as a retail fiat-to-crypto on-ramp to a full-stack infrastructure provider.

MoonPay Trade will support tokenized fund subscriptions, allowing institutions to buy into tokenized funds and structured products directly on chain using stablecoins and tokenized cash equivalents as rails. The platform also integrates with DeFi protocols such as Aave, Morpho, and Maple Finance, enabling clients to lend, borrow, and generate yield directly on chain through a single interface.
