Summary

MoonPay said it has integrated the TRON network into its Trade infrastructure, allowing users to complete transactions on TRON without holding TRX, the network’s native utility token, for gas fees. The company said the setup abstracts network costs and folds them into the overall transaction, a change aimed at reducing a common source of friction for stablecoin transfers and other onchain activity. MoonPay said the rollout extends across the TRON ecosystem, including SunSwap and JustLend, and described TRON as one of the world’s largest stablecoin settlement networks, with more than $22 billion in average daily transfer volume. Trust Wallet is the first launch partner for the feature. Justin Sun, Founder of TRON, said the collaboration is meant to simplify stablecoin transactions and everyday onchain payments, while MoonPay CEO and Founder Ivan Soto-Wright said removing the need to hold TRX should make transfers more accessible. MoonPay said its Trade infrastructure is operated by Swaps XYZ, Ltd, a British Virgin Islands subsidiary and is not licensed, authorized, or regulated by any financial services regulator.
