The web3 infrastructure provider MoonPay just announced its acquisition of the stablecoin infrastructure developer Iron just months after purchasing crypto payments platform Helio.
In a statement, MoonPay says its new acquisition significantly expands its offerings with solutions that allow businesses to manage multi-currency treasuries, facilitate instant cross-border payments and generate new revenue through yield-bearing assets.
Says MoonPay’s co-founder and CEO, Ivan Soto-Wright,
“This acquisition is a strategic step forward, positioning MoonPay at the forefront of enterprise-grade stablecoin solutions. With Iron’s technology, we’re putting the power of instant, programmable payments into the hands of enterprises, fintechs, and global merchants.”
Iron co-founder and CTO Omid Aladini says that joining forces with MoonPay is also beneficial to the platform.
“Since we rolled out the Iron stablecoin API the interest has been absolutely phenomenal! But once part of MoonPay, we’ll be able to scale exponentially faster.
We’ve built a developer-first API experience to power apps, exchanges, institutions, DEXs, and PSPs around the world to move stablecoins across crypto ecosystems and fiat rails. It’s the foundational infrastructure for the future of money.”
MoonPay also acquired Helio in January. The Solana (SOL) crypto payment processor enables merchants and creators to accept cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and SOL.
