For years, buying crypto was the hard part. Then came the next problem: moving it. Now, as digital assets start to look more like real financial plumbing than a niche corner of the internet, the next battle is about execution, speed, and who controls the pipes beneath the trade.
And MoonPay is right in the middle of the action.
The Miami-founded company has acquired DFlow, one of the fastest-rising names in onchain trading infrastructure, in a deal that pushes MoonPay well beyond its roots as a payments company and deeper into the guts of how crypto markets work.
DFlow has processed more than $50 billion in trading volume since April 2025, including over $12 billion in the first quarter of 2026 alone, and now reaches more than 1 million active traders across 500-plus apps. During busy stretches on Solana, more than 85% of blocks include a DFlow-powered transaction.
That is serious scale for a company many outside crypto circles have never heard of.
Behind the scenes, DFlow built a better engine for routing trades. In crypto, prices move fast and liquidity sits across many venues at once. Traditional aggregators try to map the best route before a trade hits the blockchain. But on a chain as fast as Solana, that route can be stale almost instantly. DFlow changed that by rerouting trades during execution itself, adjusting in real time if better pricing appears elsewhere.
The result is cleaner execution, fewer failed trades, and infrastructure that gets stronger under pressure instead of weaker.
“DFlow has become one of the most important pieces of trading infrastructure on Solana in just a year,” said Ivan Soto-Wright, founder fnd CEO of MoonPay. “By bringing their execution layer into MoonPay, we’re adding the speed, reliability, and scale needed to support everything from high-volume trading to the next generation of agent-driven financial applications.”
MoonPay is also building for software agents: autonomous systems that can hold wallets, make transactions, and operate within defined rules. DFlow’s tools already let developers spin up trading agents with execution built in. Pair that with MoonPay’s fiat onramps and wallet tools, and the company is assembling a full financial operating stack for machine-driven commerce.
DFlow has also pushed into stranger, more experimental territory.
The company built what it says is the first fully tokenized system for Kalshi’s prediction markets on Solana, turning market positions into native blockchain tokens that developers can plug into apps and financial products. In plain English: bets on future events start behaving more like programmable assets. That opens the door to products that blend forecasting, trading, and payments in ways traditional finance was never built to handle.
For Miami, there is another layer to this story.
MoonPay has spent the past year on an aggressive buying streak, snapping up companies across payments, stablecoins, custody, and now execution infrastructure, as it grows from crypto checkout tool into something much larger. Fortune reported the DFlow deal was valued at roughly $100 million in stock, another big swing in MoonPay’s push to become what Soto-Wright has described as a complete platform for moving value.
