MoonPay Shakes Up Crypto: Enterprise-Grade Stablecoin Platform Goes Live

MoonPay just dropped a bombshell—Wall Street's worst nightmare is now open for business. Their new enterprise stablecoin platform promises to bulldoze traditional payment rails while banks scramble to keep up.

Why this matters: Stablecoins aren't just for crypto degens anymore. MoonPay's move signals institutional adoption is accelerating—whether legacy finance likes it or not.

The fine print: Zero mention of how many Fortune 500 companies are actually onboard (because let's be real—most still think 'blockchain' is a HR training module). But when Visa starts sweating, you know the game's changing.

Bottom line: Another nail in the coffin for slow, expensive cross-border transfers. The suits will either adapt or get left holding their useless SWIFT codes.

The enterprise stablecoin rush

Stablecoins are quickly becoming the new fault line in global payments. Stripe’s launch of its Tempo blockchain with Paradigm, arriving on the heels of PayPal, Nubank, Visa, and Mastercard’s own stablecoin experiments, makes one thing clear: major payment rails now see on-chain dollars as a competitive necessity, not a curiosity.

MoonPay’s move into white-label issuance shows how fast that shift is accelerating. Instead of merely routing existing stablecoins, payment companies increasingly want to mint their own, which are programmable, branded, and tuned to their infrastructure needs.

MoonPay’s integration with M0 is aimed squarely at that demand, giving enterprises a way to issue custom stablecoins that still function inside a broader, interoperable ecosystem. Iron handles the back-end weight: treasury management, settlement flows, and the compliance machinery required to operate these assets at scale.

Corporate digital dollars

With the new business line, MoonPay says it now controls the entire stablecoin value chain:

issuance → custody → on/off-ramps → swaps → payments.

This approach mirrors the model used by Paxos, whose white-label stablecoin infrastructure powers PayPal, Mercado Libre, and Interactive Brokers.

To match that level of credibility, MoonPay brought in two Paxos veterans to run the program: Zach Kwartler as Head of Stablecoins and Derek Yu as Treasurer, according to the report.

MoonPay’s expanding footprint

The stablecoin launch caps a busy quarter for MoonPay. Earlier this month, the company partnered with Pump.fun to enable instant crypto purchases via Apple Pay, Google Pay, cards, and bank transfers within the Solana-based token creation app. 

The deal reflects MoonPay’s strategy of becoming the default on-ramp for consumer platforms while simultaneously building enterprise infrastructure in the background.

The industry is watching

Stablecoins have quietly become the dominant FORM of on-chain money, settling trillions annually and increasingly powering remittances, FX, B2B payments, and cross-exchange liquidity. Though enterprises have largely lacked a stable, compliant infrastructure for issuing their own customizable digital dollars.

As more firms follow this approach and search for programmable dollars they can control, the question is no longer whether corporations will issue stablecoins, but how many and how quickly.
