Key Highlights
- MoonPay acquires DFlow in a $100M all-stock deal.
- The acquisition follows multiple strategic buys over the past 18 months.
- DFlow contributes 5–10% of Solana DEX trading volume.
MoonPay, a global crypto payments and infrastructure firm, has acquired DFlow, a Solana-based trading infrastructure provider, today in a $100 million all-stock deal, strengthening its position in on-chain trading.
In an official announcement via X, MoonPay shared a short video confirming the acquisition, followed by a caption stating, “MoonPay has acquired DFlow.”
The move supports MoonPay’s goal of transitioning from being an on-ramp provider for fiat to becoming a full-blown operating system for crypto finances. By integrating DFlow’s trade execution abilities, the company intends to ensure that there is no limitation to what can be achieved, ranging from funding crypto wallets with fiat to advanced trading on-chain and beyond.
The acquisition also enhances MoonPay’s capability of serving retail users and institutional clients looking for efficient trading infrastructure on high-throughput blockchains such as Solana.
Strategic acquisitions
MoonPay has continued to pursue acquisitions over the past 18 months. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to expand services across fundraising, tokenization, trading, and payments.
Such acquisitions have strengthened MoonPay’s institutional services, custody, stablecoin technology, and payment systems. The DFlow acquisition is yet another step towards strengthening its presence in Solana, a leading ecosystem for decentralized finance and consumer applications.
DFlow offers services such as DEX aggregation that offer high precision and low latency and facilitates the development of the prediction market infrastructure on the Solana blockchain network. It has gained prominence in Solana’s trading ecosystem, as it is estimated to contribute to about 5-10% of DEX volumes on Solana.
According to Q1 2026 estimates, DFlow facilitated around $12 billion worth of trading volume. Its services include order flow routing to wallets and exchanges, among others.
Hardware wallet support
In a separate development, MoonPay last month introduced native hardware wallet compatibility for its automated trading agents, allowing secure transaction signing through Ledger wallets. The upgrade, which was performed on the CLI wallet of MoonPay, allows the user to store their private keys offline while signing the transaction on the hardware wallet.
It is said to be the first CLI wallet for an agent that provides full transaction signing from the hardware wallet for all transactions. The problem of separating transaction generation by the agent and authorization by the user on the hardware wallet has been solved.
Convergence of fiat gateways
The acquisition reflects MoonPay’s increasing focus on expanding its capabilities within the Solana ecosystem.
The integration of DFlow technology will take place gradually and will add further value to the trading capabilities offered by MoonPay to users globally. In the maturing crypto world, such acquisitions reflect a trend towards consolidation, wherein traditional payment companies acquire the technologies needed to offer more integrated solutions to users.
