MoonPay, the global crypto payments firm, and Trust Wallet, the world’s leading self-custody wallet, announced a multi-year strategic partnership today that will make it easier for millions of users to move between fiat and crypto inside the Trust Wallet app.
Under the deal, MoonPay will serve as a primary provider for Trust Wallet’s “Buy Crypto” function for the next two years, starting with the United States. The arrangement builds on a relationship that began in 2020, when Trust Wallet first integrated MoonPay’s on-ramp, and later expanded to off-ramp capabilities in 2023. The expanded integration is already live for users.
Making Crypto Simple, Safe, and Accessible
The agreement leans on the strengths each company brings: MoonPay’s global payment rails and checkout flows, and Trust Wallet’s broad user base and self-custody capabilities. According to the announcement, MoonPay’s infrastructure will power streamlined in-app checkouts, support multiple local payment methods and fiat currencies across more than 190 countries, and act as the default buy-and-sell option inside Trust Wallet, removing friction for end users.
“This is more than just an integration; it’s a strategic alignment between two major forces in the crypto industry,” said Ivan Soto-Wright, CEO of MoonPay. “Trust Wallet shares our mission to make crypto simple, safe, and accessible for everyone. By becoming their premier on- and off-ramp provider in key markets, we’re taking that mission to the next level.”
“We’ve worked with MoonPay for years and have seen firsthand how their infrastructure enhances the user experience,” said Eowyn Chen, CEO of Trust Wallet. “This partnership deepens our collaboration, bringing smoother transactions and more payment options for our users, starting with the US.”
MoonPay positions itself as a one-stop payments gateway for crypto, allowing people to buy, sell and trade using familiar methods like cards, Apple Pay, PayPal and Venmo, and offering tools for handling stablecoins. The company says it serves nearly 30 million customers and powers infrastructure for almost 500 companies across the decentralized economy; it is licensed and regulated across major jurisdictions, including the U.S., U.K., EU, Canada and Australia.
Trust Wallet, meanwhile, touts itself as a secure self-custody gateway for Web3, enabling users to store crypto and NFTs, interact with dApps, and stake assets, all without surrendering private keys. The wallet’s ubiquity and user experience have made it a common entry point for users moving into on-chain finance and NFTs. The companies said the refreshed partnership will make those entry points smoother and expand payment choice for users starting in the U.S. and beyond.
Industry observers said the move is emblematic of a broader push to reduce friction between fiat rails and crypto ecosystems. By embedding trusted fiat on- and off-ramps directly inside popular self-custody wallets, providers hope to make Web3 onboarding less technical and more consumer-friendly, an important step if crypto services are to reach mainstream audiences.
For users of Trust Wallet, the change should be immediately practical: faster, simpler buy flows and more payment options at checkout. For MoonPay, the partnership deepens distribution through one of the most widely used non-custodial wallets, reinforcing the company’s role as a payments backbone for Web3. The expanded partnership is live now. Both companies said they will continue to develop the integration and expand availability across additional markets in the coming months.
