MoonPay Launches MoonPay Trade for Banks and Fintech Access to Stablecoins

According to CoinDesk, MoonPay Trade gives banks and fintechs unified access to tokenized assets, DeFi protocols, and stablecoin liquidity across more than 200 blockchains.

Fact Check
All material elements of the claim are confirmed by multiple independent, authoritative sources. MoonPay's own official newsroom press release at moonpay.com/newsroom/moonpay-trade confirms the launch of MoonPay Trade, the acquisition of Decent.xyz, cross-chain routing and bridging capabilities, and the 200+ chains/protocols scope targeting institutions including banks and fintechs. The official @moonpay X post corroborates the announcement on May 21, 2026. CoinDesk and The Block provide independent journalistic confirmation. The claim's description of 'one-click execution, settlement, swaps and payments across more than 200 chains and protocols' aligns precisely with MoonPay's own language. The only minor nuance is that the claim frames the platform primarily around 'stablecoins,' while sources describe a broader scope including tokenized assets and DeFi - but stablecoin liquidity is explicitly a core component per all sources.
