In a significant move to enhance accessibility within the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, MoonPay has unveiled a partnership with the hardware wallet manufacturer Tangem. This collaboration aims to streamline the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies directly through the Tangem app, harnessing MoonPay’s expansive payment infrastructure.
The integration allows Tangem users to utilize traditional payment methods such as credit and debit cards, bank transfers, and popular digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay for their crypto transactions. This user-friendly approach is positioned to simplify the often-complex process of engaging with cryptocurrencies.
Ivan Soto-Wright, co-founder and CEO of MoonPay, emphasized the company’s mission to make cryptocurrency more accessible. “MoonPay is committed to making crypto access as simple and intuitive as possible,” he stated. With this integration, users can expect enhanced security and control over their digital assets, alongside a seamless transaction experience—all within the Tangem app.
Tangem specializes in innovative, NFC-enabled hardware wallets, available in the form of cards and rings. Paired with its app, users benefit from secure self-custody options and simplified portfolio management. The partnership with MoonPay completes the ecosystem, allowing for both the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies in a secure environment. Andrey Lazutkin, CTO of Tangem, remarked on the successful culmination of this partnership, highlighting its goal to provide users with a comprehensive, trusted solution for crypto transactions.
With the addition of MoonPay’s services, Tangem users can fund their wallets, swap tokens across supported blockchain networks, and cash out directly to a connected bank account or card—all within a single, streamlined process.
MoonPay has positioned itself as a leader in simplifying access to the cryptocurrency market. By facilitating transactions with everyday payment methods, MoonPay has garnered a user base of 30 million customers and powers the infrastructure for nearly 500 companies in the decentralized economy. The platform is fully licensed in the U.S. and adheres to regulatory standards in regions such as the UK, EU, Canada, and Australia, ensuring enterprise-grade security.
Founded in Switzerland in 2017, Tangem focuses on making self-custody of digital assets both simple and secure. Its innovative hardware wallets offer a choice between a traditional seed phrase backup and a unique seedless security feature. The integration with MoonPay enhances Tangem’s mission, allowing users to engage effortlessly with a variety of crypto services.
The new buy and sell feature powered by MoonPay is now live and available to all users of the Tangem app, marking a significant step towards greater access and usability in the cryptocurrency landscape. For further details, users and interested parties can visit Tangem’s official website.
