- On Tuesday, MoonPay revealed that its MoonPay Trade is now live via Ledger Wallet.
- The integration will allow users to provide access to cross-chain trading while leveraging the security of the Ledger ecosystem.
- The announcement comes during a growth in the demand for trading among institutional traders, and MoonPay Trade will provide a secure way to trade digital assets without revealing their private keys.
On June 16, MoonPay, a leading financial technology platform for digital assets, announced that MoonPay Trade is now available directly through Ledger Wallet.
The official announcement stated that the integration will allow users of Ledger Wallet to access services like swapping and trading while keeping their private keys secured on their hardware wallet.
“We’re excited to announce that MoonPay Trade is now live via Ledger Wallet™, giving users access to fast, competitive decentralized cross-chain trading without leaving the security of the Ledger ecosystem,” stated the official announcement.
What is MoonPay Trade?
MoonPay Trade is a major platform for the crypto payments company, which was launched in May 2026 as a unified system to access liquidity and execute trades. This platform is developed for both decentralized finance and institutional use.
MoonPay Trade is developed on technology from Decent.xyz, which is a Y Combinator-backed cross-chain routing company that MoonPay has recently acquired. It is working as a single connection point for more than 200 blockchains and protocols.
The announcement comes at a time when the crypto sector has witnessed major cyber attacks in the last few months and lost millions of dollars in funds. Apart from this, there is a growing demand for safe ways to make trades on the blockchain as many big institutions are rushing to integrate decentralized finance and tokenized assets.
Ledger has integrated MoonPay Trade into its application ecosystem. This will allow users to swap cryptocurrencies on both desktop and mobile versions of the Ledger Wallet. They will be able to access trade for assets present on the Ledger interface. After that, Moonpay Trades will take care of the routing, execution, and settlement across various blockchains.
This announcement comes after the earlier collaboration between MoonPay and Ledger Wallet. This includes features like buying and selling crypto assets.
Ivan Soto-Wright, Co-Founder and CEO of MoonPay, said, “Ledger has set the standard for self-custody, and their users expect the best. MoonPay Trade brings institutional-grade crypto trading into that environment. Users get competitive rates and fast settlement without ever stepping outside the security model they trust.”
While MoonPay will handle liquidity aggregation from various sources, all transactions will need approval through the Ledger signer.
Recent Integrations and MoonPay’s Expansion
The integration of MoonPay Trade on Ledger Wallet is another chapter in the recent series of partnerships. MoonPay has provided the ability to buy cryptocurrency directly on Ledger Live. The company has also increased the number of coins it supports and added payment methods such as Apple Pay.
After that, it introduced sell functionality in December 2024, which allows users to cash out through local bank transfers and cards in many countries.
In March 2026, MoonPay added support for the Ledger signer to its MoonPay Agents product. These are autonomous AI trading tools, which allow users to verify and approve every transaction on their hardware device without even revealing their private keys.
