MoonPay, a crypto payments network, has launched MoonPay Institutional, the firm’s infrastructure platform serving financial institutions, asset managers, trading firms, and exchanges entering digital asset markets.
As part of the launch, MoonPay has acquired Sodot, a crypto key management company, whose infrastructure will form the secure key foundation of MoonPay Institutional, allowing clients to store, govern, and manage their keys.
The platform is intended to provide integrated technology solutions that are both natively onchain and interoperable across protocol networks, along with Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance tools for the entire digital asset transaction flow.
MoonPay Institutional’s capabilities include wallet infrastructure and key management, custody, a crypto API vault, trade execution and cross-chain collateral mobility, OTC and DeFi liquidity, along with stablecoins and payments.
Caroline D. Pham, CEO of Moon Global Markets and former acting chairman of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, will lead MoonPay Institutional, with the launch coinciding with an increased demand for institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure.
Speaking on the launch, Ivan Soto-Wright, CEO and founder of MoonPay, says: “Our institutional arm is the next stage, and together with Sodot's infrastructure, it will allow us to bring this platform to financial services firms now entering the digital asset space.”
Ido Sofer, CEO and co-founder of Sodot, adds: “Joining MoonPay gives us the scale to expand our reach and make our technology central to how financial institutions secure and move digital assets.”
