MoonPay Launches New Platform MoonPay Trade to Expand Tokenized Assets and DeFi Markets

Odaily Planet Daily News: MoonPay has announced the launch of a new platform, MoonPay Trade, targeting banks, fintech companies, and corporate clients. It provides unified access to tokenized assets, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, and stablecoin liquidity across over 200 blockchain networks.

The platform is supported by Decent.xyz, a cross-chain routing infrastructure company recently acquired by MoonPay. The acquisition amount is reportedly in the "high eight figures (USD)." MoonPay stated that this product will serve as the core execution layer for its institutional business, MoonPay Institutional, which is led by Caroline Pham, former Acting Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

MoonPay Trade will support tokenized fund subscriptions, collateral transfers, and integration with DeFi protocols such as Aave, Morpho, and Maple Finance, enabling institutions to directly engage in lending and yield-generating operations on-chain.

Industry data shows that the current scale of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) has exceeded $33 billion, tripling in size over the past year. Traditional financial institutions including BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and JPMorgan have successively launched tokenized fund products, driving institutional capital to accelerate its entry into the on-chain financial system.

MoonPay stated that as institutions continue to develop their tokenized asset strategies, its goal is to provide traditional financial institutions with the infrastructure capabilities to access the on-chain market in a compliant manner through a unified interface. (CoinDesk)
