MoonPay is set to acquire North Capital in an all-stock transaction valued at more than $60 million. The deal is aimed at expanding MoonPay’s capabilities in tokenized real-world assets, according to statements attributed to MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright.
North Capital is described across outlets as an SEC-registered brokerage firm and a provider of broker-dealer and trading-related infrastructure. Cointelegraph and Fortune both frame the purchase as strengthening MoonPay’s move into tokenized securities, citing additional regulatory licenses and industry infrastructure. CoinDesk similarly ties the acquisition to MoonPay’s broader effort to support mass adoption of tokenized real-world assets.
While the reporting aligns on the deal size and the strategic purpose—building out infrastructure for tokenized securities—outlets differ slightly in emphasis. CoinDesk highlights MoonPay’s adoption goals, Cointelegraph focuses on the broker-dealer trading and investment infrastructure, and Fortune emphasizes the value of the licenses and the timing of MoonPay’s growing tokenization ambitions.
