According to Axios, cryptocurrency payment company MoonPay announced the acquisition of AI accounting startup Entendre, which focuses on providing intelligent accounting solutions for businesses using stablecoins and other digital assets.MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright stated that after this acquisition, the company will continue to seek more merger and acquisition opportunities to further expand its business landscape.

According to Decrypt, MoonPay has launched a dedicated app within the ChatGPT application, allowing users to purchase cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, XRP, Solana, and USDC directly within the OpenAI chatbot. Users can ask ChatGPT for cryptocurrency information and then request to purchase a specified amount, after which ChatGPT will generate a MoonPay checkout link. Users must complete the standard KYC process and connect their wallets.MoonPay's blockchain engineer stated that ChatGPT is becoming an entry point for financial research, and the cryptocurrency purchasing feature has been previously missing. This app is part of MoonPay's expansion into AI-driven cryptocurrency tools. Earlier this month, MoonPay also acquired the AI trading startup Dawn Labs and launched the trading assistant Dawn CLI. Arifin mentioned that chatbots like ChatGPT are becoming the new entry points to the internet.

According to CoinDesk, MoonPay announced the launch of a new platform, MoonPay Trade, aimed at banks, fintech companies, and corporate clients, providing unified access to tokenized assets, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, and stablecoin liquidity, covering over 200 blockchain networks.It is reported that MoonPay Trade will become the core execution layer of its institutional business, MoonPay Institutional, supporting tokenized fund subscriptions, collateral transfers, and integration with DeFi protocols such as Aave, Morpho, and Maple Finance, enabling institutions to conduct lending and yield generation operations directly on-chain.

The cryptocurrency payment network MoonPay announced the launch of its native cryptocurrency payment platform MoonPay Headless Onramps. It replaces MoonPay's previous brand-hosted component model with a pure API integration, providing partners with a fully white-labeled, customizable checkout experience, while payment channels, compliance checks, and identity verification are handled by MoonPay in the background.MoonPay stated that the product supports Apple Pay, credit card payments, and Google Pay, with services covering the United States, the European Economic Area, and over 100 countries/regions. Other similar headless payment solutions are currently limited to mobile payments in the United States.

According to Decrypt, MoonPay has acquired the AI trading startup Dawn Labs and launched the AI trading assistant Dawn CLI for prediction markets. This product allows users to generate and execute automated cryptocurrency trading strategies through natural language commands, with the first phase integrating with Polymarket.MoonPay stated that Dawn CLI can integrate the "strategy description --- code generation --- trade execution" process into a single interface, lowering the barriers to quantitative and automated trading. Neeraj Prasad, founder of Dawn Labs and Chief Engineer at MoonPay Labs, said that users do not need to have a development or quantitative background; they only need to describe the strategy in natural language, and the system will automatically complete the execution.MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright stated that the AI Agent will be able to autonomously develop and execute complex trading strategies, which is an important part of MoonPay's next phase of AI financial infrastructure layout. Previously, MoonPay had launched the AI Agent stablecoin payment card, an open-source AI wallet standard, and acquired the cryptocurrency key management company Sodot.

MoonPay announced the acquisition of the Solana-based execution layer platform DFlow, officially entering the trading infrastructure sector.DFlow provides trading optimization services for companies like Coinbase and Phantom, having processed over $50 billion in transaction volume and approximately 10 million transactions per month. Reports indicate that the acquisition amount is around $100 million (paid in stock). MoonPay stated that integrating DFlow will enhance high-frequency trading capabilities and support a new generation of "agent-driven" financial applications.

According to The Block, MoonPay has launched the "MoonAgents Card," a stablecoin debit card based on the Mastercard network, designed specifically for AI agents, allowing them to spend directly from on-chain self-custody wallets.This virtual card is issued through Monavate and in collaboration with the Exodus wallet, enabling real-time conversion of stablecoins to fiat for payments to online merchants worldwide that accept Mastercard, without the need to preload funds or move assets off-chain; in case of transaction failure, funds are immediately returned to the wallet, and custody of the wallet always remains unchanged.The CEO of MoonPay stated that this addresses the pain point of AI agents being unable to spend at merchants previously. It is currently available in the UK and Latin America through MoonPay CLI, with the US and EU set to launch soon (subject to KYC completion). This move targets the trend of AI agents increasingly using cryptocurrency for transactions in the future.

According to Bloomberg, cryptocurrency payment company MoonPay has acquired Israeli crypto security startup Sodot and established a new division called "MoonPay Institutional," focusing on serving institutional clients' needs for digital assets.This division will provide services such as trading, tokenized securities, payments, wallet management, and stablecoin issuance to large traditional financial institutions. Former acting chair of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Caroline D. Pham will lead this division; she will join MoonPay at the end of 2025 as Chief Legal Officer and Chief Administrative Officer.

The cryptocurrency payment network MoonPay announced that its Iron platform has officially launched virtual account services in New York State, supporting fintech companies, cryptocurrency platforms, neobanks, and financial institutions to integrate compliant fiat-to-stablecoin infrastructure.This launch is based on MoonPay's acquisition of the enterprise-grade stablecoin infrastructure platform Iron in 2025, allowing users to receive payments through channels such as ACH, wire transfer, and SWIFT, and automatically convert them into stablecoins, settling to non-custodial wallets. MoonPay has also obtained a BitLicense, money transmission license, and limited purpose trust license from the New York State Department of Financial Services in the same year.

According to The Block, the crypto payment company MoonPay has open-sourced a new wallet infrastructure standard called Open Wallet Standard, aimed at supporting autonomous AI agents to conduct transactions across blockchains, marking the company's latest advancement in AI-native crypto tools.This version (available on GitHub, npm, and PyPI) builds on the "MoonPay Agents" launched earlier by MoonPay. "MoonPay Agents" is a non-custodial software layer introduced in February that allows AI systems to interact with wallets and execute transactions programmatically.

According to PR Newswire, cryptocurrency payment service provider MoonPay announced the introduction of native hardware signature support for its AI agent tool, MoonPay Agents.Under the new architecture, the AI agents can execute trading strategies on multiple mainstream blockchains such as Ethereum and Solana, but all transactions still require user confirmation through a Ledger device. When the agent discovers cross-chain profit opportunities, it can request the user to sign to bridge USDC from Ethereum to other networks to complete the operation, while the private key never leaves the hardware signing device.

MoonPay has launched the PYUSDx framework, allowing developers to issue branded, application-specific stablecoins backed by PayPal USD (PYUSD).This solution combines the stablecoin infrastructure protocol of M0 with MoonPay's issuance and distribution capabilities, separating reserve management from token issuance, thereby accelerating the stablecoin launch process. Under this architecture, PYUSD, issued by Paxos Trust, serves as the underlying reserve asset, while branded stablecoins are issued by MoonPay Digital Assets. The latter has recently obtained a trust license in New York, enabling it to act as a stablecoin issuer. Developers can launch customized stablecoins without the need to build their own underlying technology and operational systems.At the time of the product launch, the market is also concerned about its compliance with the regulatory framework of the U.S. GENIUS Act and the applicability of related tokens in different jurisdictions in the future.

According to CoinTelegraph, M0, MoonPay, and PayPal will launch PYUSDx, a product designed to help developers issue custom stablecoins backed by PayPal USD.PYUSDx combines M0's universal stablecoin and digital token platform with the infrastructure of the MoonPay group, simplifying the issuance of dollar-backed stablecoins by reducing technical and operational burdens.

According to PRNewswire, cryptocurrency payment company MoonPay has announced the launch of MoonPay Agents, a non-custodial software layer that allows AI agents to autonomously access wallets, funds, and execute transactions via the MoonPay CLI.After users verify and fund their wallets through MoonPay, AI agents can conduct token trades, exchanges, and digital asset transfers on behalf of the users. MoonPay Agents are built on the developer-focused command line interface MoonPay CLI, enabling AI systems to generate and manage non-custodial wallets, fund them through MoonPay's global gateway, and programmatically execute on-chain transactions.

According to PR Newswire, the crypto payment platform MoonPay has announced the launch of "MoonPay Deposits" which supports cross-chain crypto asset transfers. Users can directly use any crypto asset in their existing wallets to top up applications without worrying about token types or blockchain networks. The system automatically handles cross-chain routing, exchanges, and bridging operations, depositing the selected tokens for the user. It is now available on the self-hosted wallet TON Wallet on Telegram.

Supported by Founders Fund and Galaxy Ventures, the Bitcoin application layer Citrea has launched its native USD stablecoin Citrea USD (ctUSD), issued by MoonPay and backed by M0 technology, fully backed by U.S. short-term Treasury bills and cash.Despite Bitcoin's market capitalization exceeding $1 trillion, most capital remains in a passive store of value due to the lack of native yield generation and trading settlement infrastructure. Existing Bitcoin financial activities rely on bridged or externally issued stablecoins, leading to fragmented liquidity and increased risk. ctUSD provides a unified USD settlement layer for the Bitcoin market, supporting BTC-collateralized lending, trading, and settlement directly on the Bitcoin network without the need for bridging tokens.This stablecoin complies with GENIUS Act regulatory guidelines and can be used in the U.S. (excluding New York) and over 160 other countries.

Cryptocurrency journalist Eleanor Terrett posted on the X platform that former acting chair of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Caroline Pham has joined the cryptocurrency payment company MoonPay as Chief Legal Officer and Chief Operating Officer.
