MoonPay launches Trade platform to plug banks and fintechs into tokenized assets, DeFi, and stablecoins across 200+ blockchains!

MoonPay has launched MoonPay Trade, a single-integration platform giving banks, fintechs and enterprises access to tokenized assets, DeFi protocols and stablecoin liquidity across more than 200 blockchains. The infrastructure is powered by Decent.xyz, a cross-chain routing startup MoonPay acquired for a "high eight-figure" sum, and will serve as the execution arm for MoonPay Institutional — the firm's regulated-finance division led by former acting CFTC Chair Caroline Pham.

Pham framed the move bluntly: "Every major financial institution is building a tokenized asset strategy," adding that Trade gives them onchain market access "with full compliance." Supported use cases include tokenized fund subscriptions, collateral transfers and integrations with DeFi lending protocols Morpho, Aave and Maple Finance.

The launch lands as tokenized real-world assets surpass $33 billion in market…
