MoonPay

It's safe to say the MoonPay team will never forget Q1 2025. 🧰 We built: Shipping MoonPay Balance and Recurring Buys in the US, along with countless upgrades to our app and industry-leading tech! ✈️ We gathered: Meeting with partners at Catstanbul, industry titans at the Crypto Ball, the CFTC in DC, and our teammates in Lisbon for our quarterly offsite! 🌱 We grew: Smashing records for transactions and new users, and acquiring Iron and Helio to help bring stablecoins and crypto payments to businesses around the world! Here's a look back at some of these moments, as told through the lens of ChatGPT's hottest new image trend.  

🙌 What's your most frequently used emoji at work? We asked Georgina, Damilola, Charlotte, Marcelo, Emily, Meghann, Hannah, Gregory, Alejandro, Stasi, Mihai, Christoph, and Robyn to share theirs! 🎉

MoonPay Balance is now available in Netherlands, Malta, Iceland, and Liechtenstein! 🇳🇱🇲🇹🇮🇸🇱🇮 When you load your MoonPay account with Balance, you're able to buy and sell crypto across our ecosystem with zero MoonPay fees and our highest success rates — along with the ability to schedule recurring buys for all your favorite coins.

💎 TON and USDT (TON) are now available on MoonPay across the USA for the first time! 🤝 We're proud to work with TON Foundation and Tether.io to bring this to life, and give our community the ability to participate in the TON ecosystem using MoonPay's app, technology, and payment options.

Anything that can be digitized will be, and anything that is digitized can also be tokenized. Today in our newsletter, Keith A. Grossman explains how generational shifts, behavioral changes, and new degrees of clarity around the future are all aligning towards the adoption of crypto.
