MoonPay has unveiled MoonPay Trade, a new platform designed to provide banks and fintechs with access to tokenized assets, decentralized finance (DeFi), and stablecoin liquidity across more than 200 blockchains. This initiative marks MoonPay's strategic shift from merely facilitating crypto payments to offering a comprehensive financial infrastructure. The platform is powered by Decent.xyz, a cross-chain startup acquired by MoonPay for a substantial sum. The tokenization of assets has gained significant traction, with the market value of tokenized real-world assets now exceeding $33 billion, a figure that has tripled in just one year. Major financial institutions, including BlackRock and JPMorgan, are increasingly adopting tokenized funds on public blockchains, indicating a growing interest in onchain financial products. MoonPay Trade aims to cater to this demand by enabling features such as tokenized fund subscriptions and integrations with prominent DeFi lending protocols like Morpho and Aave. Caroline Pham, leading MoonPay's institutional business, highlighted that the platform ensures compliance for institutions looking to navigate the evolving landscape of digital finance.
