MoonPay

Breaking news! We’re thrilled to announce that the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) has granted MoonPay USA LLC BitLicense and Money Transmitter Licenses! 🗽💜

We're hiring for a Senior Manager, Customer Success at MoonPay, based in our new SoHo digs in NYC! This role will directly support our incredible Enterprise team and all of our partners across the crypto ecosystem. Ready for your next challenge and check the boxes? Apply now! Here's the full job description: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/e4uY8a3G

We said it before. Crypto wallets will replace your bank account. It's now a reality. With our Virtual Accounts, users can open a non-custodial alternative to a traditional bank account, where they can convert fiat to stables (and back), receive salary and payments, and spend, send, save, and earn. Powered by MoonPay and Iron's tech, infrastructure, and regulatory licenses, and live this week with our friends at Axal, this will change how people take control of their financial future. If you're interested in offering Virtual Accounts to your customers and community, get in touch.

We are definitively entering a "Golden Age for Crypto" in the United States and, with the signing of GENIUS into law, the passage of CLARITY and Anti-CBDC Acts in the House, we are finally securing a rational, transparent foundation to build here in America. But this is just the beginning! Unlike the CEXs and some other centralized players, the Decentralized Ecosystem does not have any one player looking out for its interests, thus, we wanted to share our submission, which we believe represents the best interests shared by the 500+ partners within the MoonPay Network. To that extent, we advocated for: 1.) Clarity on DeFi. We celebrate the inclusion of the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act in the Discussion Draft, which clarifies that peer-to-peer, non-custodial DeFi interfaces are not money transmitters, and invite similar clarification under the securities laws. Huge kudos to DeFi Education Fund's excellent RFI response which addresses this topic in great detail. You can check it out here: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/em_gKMHb 2.) Self-Custody. At MoonPay, we believe the future of crypto is non-custodial and strongly support the Discussion Draft’s inclusion of protections for self-hosted wallets. 3.) AML / CTF. MoonPay is committed to regulatory compliance as a licensed Money Services Business (MSB) and hopes that market structure legislation accounts for the substantial pre-existing compliance of MSBs like us in the digital assets space.

I don’t usually write posts like this. But hitting four years at MoonPay felt like a moment worth pausing for. This weekend, I took some time to reflect on the journey, the people, and the work I’ve been lucky to be part of. That reflection turned into a longer piece, and ultimately, this post: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/e-umd6Tg Huge shoutout to the people I’ve had the privilege to build with. Thank you for the consistency, the pace, the care, and the late nights. You’ve made this a place worth growing in. There’s still a lot to build. And I’m proud to keep building alongside you. Together, we’re on a mission. 🫡

Axal Partners with MoonPay to Launch Virtual Bank Accounts with Onchain Yield Through Axal Yield “The vast majority of money on Earth sits idle in cash or low-interest accounts,” said Ashlan Ahmed, founder and CEO of Axal. “Axal puts that capital to work by generating meaningful, passive income while giving users full control of their funds.” https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/gpb7PinU Ivan Soto-Wright Eric L.
