MoonPay, a crypto payments company, has bought the cross-chain startup Decent in a deal worth tens of millions. This move helps MoonPay expand further into tokenized assets and decentralized finance.
With this purchase, MoonPay also launched a new platform called MoonPay Trade. It is designed to help banks, fintech companies, and asset managers access tokenized assets, DeFi apps, and stablecoin liquidity through one system.
The platform brings together Decent’s routing and bridge technology with MoonPay’s compliance tools, payment systems, and liquidity. It works with over 200 blockchains and more than 120 fiat currencies, letting users move assets across chains without using several platforms.
MoonPay said this system will be the main execution layer for MoonPay Institutional, which is led by former acting CFTC Chair Caroline Pham. The company thinks demand for tokenized financial products is growing fast as big firms like BlackRock and JPMorgan Chase offer more blockchain-based assets.
Industry data shows that tokenized real-world assets are now worth over $33 billion, which highlights the growing interest from institutions in blockchain-based finance.
