Moonpay, a crypto payments infrastructure provider, completed a $100 million acquisition of Israeli firm Sodot in an all-stock deal that closed in April 2026, according to CoinDesk.
The same CoinDesk note says Moonpay is shifting toward “big banks and asset managers” as part of this move.
CoinDesk also reports that Moonpay Institutional was launched to provide regulated DeFi and stablecoin access to global asset managers.
That is the core of the announcement. What it does not clarify is how Moonpay plans to operationalize “regulated DeFi” access or which jurisdictions and compliance frameworks will apply, at least in the provided text.
