MoonPay corporate and regional expansion

Overview

MoonPay, a crypto payments infrastructure firm, has initiated a series of strategic expansions targeting regulated securities and the Asia-Pacific market.

In late September 2026, the company agreed to acquire North Capital Investment Technology in an all-stock deal valued at over $60 million. This acquisition is designed to integrate North Capital’s regulated securities infrastructure, including its SEC-registered broker-dealer and alternative trading system, to facilitate the tokenization of real-world assets and private markets.

Shortly thereafter, MoonPay announced the launch of MoonPay Korea to serve as a regional hub for Asia-Pacific expansion. The company intends to leverage South Korea’s digital payment infrastructure through partnerships with local institutions such as Woori Bank, KB Financial Group, and KakaoBank. This expansion focuses on stablecoin infrastructure, cross-border remittances, and digital asset services, with plans to apply for Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) registration following compliance milestones.
