MoonPay agreed on Wednesday to acquire North Capital Investment Technology in an all-stock deal worth more than $60 million. North Capital brings securities brokerage and trading infrastructure, including affiliates that operate brokerage, advisory, transfer-agent and alternative-trading-system businesses, as MoonPay expands further into tokenized securities and real-world assets.
Key claims & sources
What it means
Users and counterparties who already interact with MoonPay may notice that the company is now reaching into securities infrastructure as well as crypto payments. The deal adds broker-dealer and trading functions to a business that has served more than 35 million customers, which changes the set of services attached to the MoonPay name tomorrow morning.
In practice, the deal expands what MoonPay can connect to tokenized securities because North Capital brings brokerage, advisory, transfer-agent and alternative-trading-system operations. What remains the same is that the acquisition is still only agreed, not completed, and it is described as an all-stock transaction worth more than $60 million.
