MoonPay

It's safe to say the MoonPay team will never forget Q1 2025. 🧰 We built: Shipping MoonPay Balance and Recurring Buys in the US, along with countless upgrades to our app and industry-leading tech! ✈️ We gathered: Meeting with partners at Catstanbul, industry titans at the Crypto Ball, the CFTC in DC, and our teammates in Lisbon for our quarterly offsite! 🌱 We grew: Smashing records for transactions and new users, and acquiring Iron and Helio to help bring stablecoins and crypto payments to businesses around the world! Here's a look back at some of these moments, as told through the lens of ChatGPT's hottest new image trend.  

Congratulations to Shaun Heng, MoonPay's Director of Product Strategy, on being recognized as one of the Top 100 Most Influential Fintech Voices in Singapore by Favikon!

The MoonPay team keeps shipping! This week, we rolled out two big upgrades for our global crypto community: 🇦🇺 Thanks to our new entity in Australia, we've been able to upgrade our services with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and cards available to all Australian users, along with a fast and reliable new buying experience. 🇺🇸 Across the US and EU this May, MoonPay users will instantly get $2.50 back every time they buy $100+ of crypto using MoonPay Balance! This rewards offer is available directly in the MoonPay App from May 1-31 (NY, Germany, and the UK are excluded from eligibility). As a note, purchases under $100 will not receive any reward, and all transactions of $100 or over will get $2.50 back. Stay tuned for more exciting updates to the MoonPay App and user experience this month!

Stablecoins processed $27.6T in 2024 - more than Visa + Mastercard combined. The next $270T will be driven by the proliferation of enterprise-grade, global payment infrastructure - and we’re building it at Iron now together with MoonPay. Big thanks to Motive Ventures for the excellent Stablecoin Stack report (in comments) and for naming Iron alongside Bridge as key players in this new financial layer. Two lines nailed our mission: “The winners will make stablecoins invisible - frictionless, secure, interoperable.” “Full-scale adoption requires enterprise-grade standards.” At Iron, we’re focused on: - B2B payment use cases - Regulated, API-first infrastructure - Embedded FX, security, and compliance We’re hiring and partnering with fintechs, PSPs, and treasury teams building on stablecoin rails.

"Dorsia isn’t just testing the crypto waters—it’s diving in headfirst. With MoonPay's integration and backend processing via Helio, Dorsia now offers a fully-native crypto payment experience. That means 130+ currencies, zero friction, and no middlemen slowing down the night. The move positions Dorsia as one of the first hospitality tech players to fully embrace crypto-native payments. It's a strategic play for a younger, digital-savvy clientele who want to spend crypto in the real world—not just on exchanges." It's great to be partnered with MoonPay, and to have old worlds collide in new spaces with Keith A. Grossman. Incredible to see so many members lean in over the past few days - the demand for alternative payment methods in the luxury ecosystem is clearly underserved. Win for consumers, and big win for partners -- eliminating chargebacks and frauds that cannibalize delicate margins. Excited to be on this side of the future together. https://lnkd.in/e5fEuPu2

Crypto isn’t just about trading or investing anymore—it's reshaping how we experience dining, culture, and nightlife. At Dorsia, we're always thinking ahead, especially about the future of payments and hospitality. Today, we're thrilled to announce our integration with MoonPay, enabling our members to use cryptocurrency for bookings and ticket purchases. Why crypto? Because the hospitality world should operate on seamless, secure transactions. Crypto payments are irreversible, meaning venues face fewer chargebacks and disputes—an industry-wide challenge costing businesses over $100 billion each year. This partnership ensures security for venues and effortless experiences for our members. Whether you're securing a coveted reservation in Dubai, enjoying a beachside lunch in Ibiza, or hitting the après-ski in Aspen, your crypto wallet can now fuel your social calendar. Welcome to the next evolution in luxury hospitality.

Yesterday evening, MoonPay announced that NYC will become it's official US Headquarters with a new 5,000-plus sq. ft space in SoHo opening on May 19th.
