Moonpay has acquired Dawn Labs and released Dawn CLI, a trading tool that converts plain English strategy descriptions into autonomous trade execution. The launch arrives as prediction markets become one of crypto's fastest-growing sectors, and it marks a push by Moonpay into AI-native trading.
How Dawn CLI works
The tool takes natural language input — someone might type "buy when the price drops below support and sell at resistance" — and turns that into live trades without any coding. Dawn CLI executes the strategies automatically on supported venues. Moonpay says the AI handles the translation from human instructions to on-chain action.
The Dawn Labs acquisition
Moonpay brought in Dawn Labs' team and technology as part of the deal. The acquisition gives Moonpay a ready-made AI layer for its platform. Dawn Labs had been building AI tools for crypto trading before being bought.
Prediction markets on the rise
Prediction markets have expanded rapidly in 2026, attracting both retail and institutional players. The sector's growth has created demand for automated tools that can react to outcomes quickly. Dawn CLI doesn't specifically target prediction markets, but its natural-language approach fits a broader trend of making crypto trading accessible without a coding background.
Dawn CLI is live now for users on supported exchanges.
