The funds will be used to launch new payment methods

MoonPay has announced that it has raised $555 million from Coatue and Tiger Global, bringing its valuation to $3.4 billion. The funds will be used to hire employees, expand geographic coverage and launch more payment methods. Other participants in the funding round included legacy backer Blossom Capital and new investors Paradigm, NEA, and Thrive. In addition, MoonPay co-founder and CEO Ivan Soto-Wright said that the company would also consider mergers and acquisitions in an interview.

"We are excited about the opportunity in crypto, but one of the challenges to mainstream adoption is offering the same seamless experience that users have come to expect from modern internet products. MoonPay has impressed us with its product, infrastructure, and execution," Coatue Managing Partner Kris Fredrickson said in a press release.

What is MoonPay?

MoonPay's software allows users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies using traditional payment methods such as credit cards, bank transfers, or mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay. MoonPay has been "bootstrapped" and profitable since its inception and has processed more than $2 billion in transactions to date, but its growth has accelerated significantly in the last year. The company says its transaction volume has increased 35-fold since 2020, and its headcount has grown from five to more than 130.

MoonPay is also working on streamlining the payment process on NFT marketplaces. MoonPay has begun beta testing this solution with several partners, including OpenSea, Binance, and Dapper Labs. MoonPay's NFT ambitions received prominent support last week. In a new music video, musician Post Malone used MoonPay to buy a Bored Ape NFT and talk show host Jimmy Fallon recently praised the company in his interview with digital artist Beeple.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
