Behind the Scenes of MoonPay and Phantom Integration
This kind of teamwork is not only good. Underneath it is a well-defined strategy to raise certain demographic’s acceptance of cryptocurrency. Using this cooperation, leading fiat to cryptocurrency payment startup MoonPay hopes to attract more customers—especially in US and European markets.
On the other hand, CNF has previously reported that MoonPay, BitStaete, ZBD, and HiddenRoad have MiCA licenses to run in all 27 EU countries. With this success, MoonPay’s regional corporate development marks a major turning point.
“MiCA is a landmark moment for the digital asset industry in Europe,” said Soto-Wright, CEO and co-founder of MoonPay, “we are proud to work with the Dutch Financial Markets Authority (AFM) to be one of the first to comply with this new regulatory framework.”
Helio Acquisition: A Game-Changer for Crypto Payments
MoonPay’s current success cannot be separated from the deliberate activities carried out in earlier years. The business bought British crypto-based payment processing company Helio for an incredible $175 million last December.
This purchase aims to use Helio’s technologies to upgrade their payment mechanism. MoonPay can thus facilitate crypto payments on multiple e-commerce platforms, including Shopify and Discord.
Imagine, in the past, crypto payments were still considered challenging and required certain technological knowledge. But thanks to this integration, you can buy anything from web retailers with only a few clicks or even help your chosen Discord server.
Recurring Buys: Simplifying Crypto Investments
With the launch of the “Recurring Buys” feature in January 2025, MoonPay generated still another breakthrough. This service lets users regularly and automatically schedule purchases of digital items. If someone wants to buy Bitcoin at the beginning of every month, for example, they just need to create the schedule once; the system will then handle the transaction depending on the plan.
Funded straight from the user’s MoonPay balance, this feature ensures security and simplicity with a transaction success rate of up to 99%. Fascinatingly, MoonPay charges no more for this use.
This tool is perfect for those who want to apply a Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) investing plan without daily market monitoring. This kind of technology helps one stay constant in making investments in the famously unpredictable crypto market.
