MoonPay acquires EntendreAI to expand AI accounting and digital asset infrastructure

The deal adds automated crypto accounting tools to MoonPay’s payments stack as stablecoin use grows, extending its push into AI-driven finance operations and blockchain infrastructure software.

Fact Check
MoonPay's official newsroom directly confirms the acquisition of Entendre, an AI-enabled finance operations platform for onchain/stablecoin businesses, matching the claim's description of expanding AI accounting and digital asset infrastructure. This is corroborated by an official PRNewswire release and independent reporting from The Block and Cryptopolitan. The only discrepancy is the name 'EntendreAI' in the claim versus the official 'Entendre'/'Entendre Finance', a minor variation that does not undermine the core claim.
Summary

MoonPay has acquired AI accounting startup Entendre, adding software designed to automate reconciliation, treasury management, month-end close and accounting entries for crypto and fintech firms handling on-chain payments. The deal expands MoonPay beyond its core crypto payments business and deeper into infrastructure for stablecoins, digital assets and back-office finance operations. Entendre uses AI agents to turn raw blockchain activity into structured financial records for companies that move funds through wallets, swaps, bridges and other payment rails. MoonPay said clients including Polygon Labs, Thirdweb, Brale, Babylon Labs, Ostium, Courtyard and DoubleZero use the platform. The company said those customers typically manage more than 30 financial accounts and about 25,000 transactions a month, often across three or more legal entities. MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright said the acquisition fits a broader shift toward what the company calls "agentic finance," in which AI systems coordinate financial work alongside human operators. MoonPay said Entendre cuts manual accounting work by more than half, automates 93% of journal entries and helps teams close books three times faster than conventional methods. The purchase follows MoonPay’s earlier acquisitions of Meso, Sodot, Decent and DFlow, and comes after the launch of its MoonAgents Desktop App for blockchain tasks through text commands. The move lands as finance executives show increasing interest in stablecoins for payments, though regulation remains a major obstacle. Research from PYMNTS Intelligence said 23% of CFOs think stablecoins will become somewhat or very important over the next three years, while 15% said they will become very or extremely important.
