DTAPCAP, the firm of investor Dan Tapiero, has invested $40 million in crypto payments provider MoonPay. The deal has sparked discussion of how AI agents could change cryptocurrency transactions. MoonPay provides payment infrastructure for digital assets, including Bitcoin. The investment reflects growing interest among financial firms in using AI to improve the efficiency and security of crypto transactions. Traders are watching how AI on platforms like MoonPay could affect Bitcoin's market. Some voice concerns about volatility and the risk of a dot-com-style collapse as money flows into technology-heavy projects.

MoonPay has named Anne Giviskos as chief financial officer. She was most recently interim CFO and chief accounting officer at business travel and expense platform Navan. Giviskos will lead the finance team, set financial and capital strategy, and build the infrastructure for MoonPay's next phase of growth. She has more than two decades of experience in traditional markets, including scaling regulated financial businesses and integrating acquisitions. The hire follows a run of deals. MoonPay acquired DFlow, a Solana trading platform that has processed $45 billion in volume so far in 2026. In September, it agreed to acquire North Capital to expand into onchain capital markets. "Anne knows how to help ambitious companies navigate defining moments," said chief executive officer Ivan Soto-Wright.

Ether.fi has partnered with MoonPay to integrate its full payments infrastructure stack into the crypto neobank's platform. The integration covers funding, internal transfers, and cash-out functions whilst maintaining self-custody for users. MoonPay will provide four products: Headless Ramps for seamless deposits and withdrawals, Trade for cross-chain conversions, Enterprise Virtual Accounts with traditional banking rails including ACH and SWIFT, and Crypto Deposits for bringing assets from external wallets and exchanges. Ether.fi's card processed $123.7 million in September 2026 across 1.5 million transactions, up from $24.1 million in September 2025. Since launching in April 2025, the card has processed $918.1 million in total spend. The partnership aims to create a unified experience where users verify their identity once rather than separately for each service, whilst retaining control of their private keys throughout.
