Odaily Planet Daily reports that MoonPay has launched its new platform, MoonPay Trade, providing banks, fintech companies, and enterprise clients with unified access to tokenized assets, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, and stablecoin liquidity across more than 200 blockchain networks.
The platform is powered by Decent.xyz, a cross-chain routing infrastructure company recently acquired by MoonPay for an amount reportedly in the high eight-digit U.S. dollars. MoonPay states that this product will serve as the core execution layer for its institutional business, MoonPay Institutional, led by former acting chair of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Caroline Pham.
MoonPay Trade will support tokenized fund subscriptions, collateral transfers, and integration with DeFi protocols such as Aave, Morpho, and Maple Finance, enabling institutions to directly lend and earn yields on-chain.
Industry data shows that the current size of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) has exceeded $33 billion, tripling over the past year. Traditional financial institutions, including BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and JPMorgan, have progressively launched tokenized fund products, accelerating the flow of institutional capital into on-chain financial systems.
MoonPay stated that, as institutions continue to deploy tokenization strategies, its goal is to provide traditional financial institutions with compliant infrastructure access to on-chain markets through a unified interface. (CoinDesk)
