Moonpay Acquires Decent to Power Institutional Onchain Execution Across 200 Chains

Moonpay launched Moonpay Trade on May 21, 2026 to give institutions access to 200+ chains through one API. DFlow processed over $12 billion in Q1 2026 volume, extending the platform’s reach across Solana and EVM markets. Moonpay Institutional, led by Caroline D. Pham, will use Moonpay Trade as its compliance-backed onchain execution layer. The platform is powered by Decent.xyz, a cross-chain routing company acquired by Moonpay, bringing proprietary bridge infrastructure, routing algorithms, and an aggregation layer. Onchain liquidity is distributed across hundreds of chains, venues, and protocols, and Moonpay Trade condenses connectivity into one integration. It supports cross-chain routing across Ethereum, Solana, Base, Hyperliquid, Bitcoin, and more than 200 networks, collateral movement across permissioned and permissionless networks, fiat-to-onchain settlement in 120+ currencies, and compliance infrastructure including KYC/AML and reporting.

"Moonpay Trade condenses that into a single integration that handles cross-chain execution, settlement, conversion, and payments across more than 120 fiat currencies. Moonpay Trade will serve as the execution layer for Moonpay Institutional, the company's business unit for regulated financial services firms. That unit is led by Caroline D. Pham, former acting CFTC Chairman."

"The platform is powered by Decent.xyz, the Y Combinator-backed cross-chain routing company Moonpay acquired. Decent was founded in 2021 by Charlie Durbin, Will Collier, Will Kantaros, and Xander Carlson, and backed by Archetype and Circle. The acquisition brings proprietary bridge infrastructure, routing algorithms, and an aggregation layer to Moonpay's growing stack."

"Moonpay Trade condenses that into a single integration that handles cross-chain execution, settlement, conversion, and payments across more than 120 fiat currencies. Onchain liquidity is split across hundreds of chains, venues, and protocols. Building direct connectivity to all of it is a large engineering undertaking for any firm."

"The platform supports cross-chain routing across Ethereum, Solana, Base, Hyperliquid, Bitcoin, and more than 200 other networks. It also handles collateral movement across permissioned and permissionless networks, fiat-to-onchain settlement in 120-plus currencies, and compliance infrastructure covering KYC/AML and reporting requirements."
