MoonPay has partnered with payments firm Tempo to add support for two stablecoins — USDC.E and PATHUSD. The integration aims to make stablecoins more accessible and could help accelerate mainstream crypto adoption while simplifying cross-border transactions.
The stablecoins involved
USDC.E and PATHUSD are both dollar-pegged stablecoins. Through the partnership, MoonPay users will be able to buy, sell, and transfer these tokens directly on the platform. Tempo provides the infrastructure for stablecoin issuance and redemption.
Why stablecoin accessibility matters
Stablecoins are often the first crypto asset new users interact with. Adding more options lowers the barrier to entry. MoonPay sees stablecoins as a key tool for cross-border payments, where they can reduce fees and settlement times compared to traditional banking. The partnership could make that alternative more widely available.
What MoonPay and Tempo bring
MoonPay is a crypto payments company that lets users buy digital assets with fiat currency. Tempo is a payments firm that issues stablecoins. The partnership combines MoonPay's on-ramp infrastructure with Tempo's stablecoin capabilities.
No launch date yet
MoonPay has not announced when the new stablecoin support will go live. The partnership is the latest in a series of integrations aimed at broadening MoonPay's payment options.
