MoonPay acquires Dawn Labs to launch AI agent tools for prediction market trading!

MoonPay is moving into AI-powered trading infrastructure, launching a product that lets non-technical users build and deploy trading strategies for prediction markets — no coding required. The move follows the acquisition of Dawn Labs, the startup behind the underlying agent technology.

Dawn Labs founder Neeraj Prasad framed the vision bluntly: "Trading will be democratized by general intelligence." The product sits at the intersection of two fast-moving trends — the mainstreaming of prediction markets as a legitimate financial venue and the race to make AI agents useful for retail participants who can't write their own bots.

For MoonPay, best known as a fiat-to-crypto on-ramp, the acquisition signals a deliberate push up the value chain — from payments infrastructure into active trading tooling.
