Paysafe Taps MoonPay to Bring Crypto Payments to Its $167 Billion-a-Year Platform
PR Newswire
NEW YORK, April 8, 2026
NEW YORK, April 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MoonPay, the global leader in crypto payments and stablecoin infrastructure, is now powering crypto payments inside Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE), a global payments platform that processed $167 billion in transactions in 2025. The integration embeds stablecoin rails directly into Paysafe's platform, giving merchants crypto payment capability alongside cards, digital wallets, eCash, bank transfers, and local payment rails.
The first product to launch from the partnership is Pay with Crypto, which allows brands' customers to use their preferred stablecoin or cryptocurrency to fund their accounts, where permitted. Whether a customer wants to fund an account using USD Coin (USDC), another stablecoin, or any major cryptocurrency, Paysafe's new payment option for operators' cashiers enables their crypto deposit to be rapidly converted to U.S. dollars. The solution supports e-commerce, financial services, retail, and iGaming and daily fantasy sports operators, among other verticals.
Ivan Soto-Wright, Founder and CEO of MoonPay, commented: "Crypto rails are making payments faster and cheaper, and our job is to close the gap between this technology and real-world utility."
Crypto as a Payments Rail
The integration reflects a broader shift in how stablecoin infrastructure scales. Rather than going direct-to-consumer, MoonPay is powering the crypto capability of an established payment processor, embedding stablecoin rails into traditional checkout flows. For merchants, that means gaining crypto payment functionality through Paysafe without requiring a separate integration.
Zak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe, said: "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. Against this backdrop, we're delighted to unveil Pay with Crypto, a forward-thinking solution that strongly positions U.S. operators for their customers' changing transactional preferences – the future of how they pay when they play."
How Pay with Crypto Works
After selecting Pay with Crypto and their preferred stablecoin or cryptocurrency, users simply connect their crypto or custodial wallet to fund the deposit, with the MoonPay Commerce Checkouts technology also supporting transactions via QR code using users' phones. Once transactions have been verified, Pay with Crypto instantly converts crypto deposits into U.S. dollars to fund the user's account.
For a daily fantasy sports operator, that means a player can fund their account with a stablecoin in seconds, expanding available deposit options without any additional integration work.
The flexibility embedded in the Pay with Crypto solution also extends to operators, which can choose to settle payments almost instantly in stablecoins in their business's crypto wallet, or settle in U.S. dollars or any major fiat currency through MoonPay's Virtual Accounts powered by Iron.
