MoonPay, a leading provider of crypto payments and stablecoin infrastructure, has successfully integrated its services within Paysafe, a prominent global payments platform known for processing $167 billion in transactions in 2025. This partnership enables Paysafe to offer comprehensive crypto payment capabilities, alongside traditional payment methods such as cards, digital wallets, eCash, bank transfers, and local payment options.
The first product launched through this collaboration is Pay with Crypto, allowing customers to utilize their preferred cryptocurrency or stablecoin to fund their accounts wherever applicable. Users can now easily deposit using popular digital assets, including USD Coin (USDC) and other major cryptocurrencies. The innovative payment option at Paysafe’s cashiers allows for rapid conversion of crypto deposits into U.S. dollars, catering to a variety of sectors such as e-commerce, financial services, retail, and iGaming, including daily fantasy sports.
Ivan Soto-Wright, founder and CEO of MoonPay, emphasized the transformative nature of this technology, stating, “Crypto rails are making payments faster and cheaper, and our job is to close the gap between this technology and real-world utility.” Instead of targeting the end consumer directly, MoonPay strategically enhances the capabilities of an established payment processor like Paysafe, embedding stablecoin functionality within conventional checkout processes. This integration enables merchants to accept crypto payments seamlessly without requiring any additional setup.
Zak Cutler, president of global gaming at Paysafe, expressed enthusiasm for the shift toward crypto in the U.S. market. He noted, “Galvanized by the growing popularity of stablecoins, cryptocurrency is evolving in the U.S. from an investment asset into a unit of value for payments, and we’re seeing this shift gather pace in the country’s online gaming market.” He further highlighted that the introduction of Pay with Crypto positions U.S. operators favorably to adapt to customers’ changing payment preferences.
To use Pay with Crypto, customers simply select their preferred stablecoin or cryptocurrency and connect their crypto or custodial wallet to fund their deposits. The transaction process is enhanced by MoonPay’s Commerce Checkouts technology, which includes the ability to complete transactions via QR codes using a smartphone. Once verified, the crypto deposits are instantly converted into U.S. dollars, ensuring a smooth funding experience for users. Overall, this integration marks a significant step toward accommodating the growing demand for crypto payment solutions in various industries.
