<\/div>\n

MoonPay has launched a new product called MoonPay Deposits, in hopes of making wallet-to-wallet crypto transfers easier by automatically handling swaps, bridging, and cross-chain routing behind the scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company said<\/a> the service allows users to fund applications with crypto from an existing wallet, regardless of which token or blockchain they hold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of manually ensuring the correct asset and network are selected, users can send supported crypto and receive the final balance in their chosen asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MoonPay Deposits is now available in the self-custodial TON Wallet, part of Wallet in Telegram\u2019s dual-wallet setup, giving more than 100 million users a new way to move funds into the Telegram-based ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUsers shouldn\u2019t have to buy new assets or navigate complex steps just to fund an account,\u201d said CEO and co-founder Ivan Soto-Wright<\/a>, adding that the product simplifies transfers by letting people use the crypto they already own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service is designed to reduce friction for users entering the TON ecosystem, which previously required holding assets on the TON blockchain before funding a TON Wallet account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the new deposit flow, users can send Bitcoin and other assets from external networks, with MoonPay<\/a> automatically converting them into TON or other supported tokens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrew Rogozov, founder and CEO of The Open Platform and Wallet in Telegram, said the goal is to make entering and exiting the TON ecosystem as seamless as using a custodial wallet while maintaining self-custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company said the product operates entirely on its infrastructure and integrates natively into partner environments, supporting deposits from detection through final asset delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can access MoonPay Deposits directly through TON Wallet by selecting a deposit option, choosing the token and network they want to send from, and transferring funds to a generated address. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MoonPay then manages the routing and credits the user in the correct asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intercontinental Exchange considering investing in MoonPay\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Two months ago, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), owner of the New York Stock Exchange, entered<\/a> talks to invest in the crypto payments firm.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The potential funding round was expected to value MoonPay at around $5 billion, up from its previous $3.4 billion valuation. The company had recently strengthened its regulatory standing by securing a Limited Purpose Trust Charter from the New York Department of Financial Services, alongside its existing BitLicense.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company also announced that CFTC Acting Chair Caroline Pham would join as chief legal and administrative officer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
