MoonPay acquires Glide to add deposit and routing technology

MoonPay has acquired crypto infrastructure startup Glide and plans to fold its deposit and routing technology into MoonPay Deposits, according to Cointelegraph. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Glide was founded in 2023 by Tushar Soni and Qinyu Tong, both of whom previously worked on the Robinhood Wallet team. The startup supports more than 100 tokens across 30 blockchain networks and helps applications accept deposits from a range of tokens, wallets, exchanges and payment sources. After the acquisition, Glide’s technology will be integrated into MoonPay Deposits, a product already used by applications including Wallet in Telegram, Moonshot and Paysafe. MoonPay said the acquisition is part of its effort to expand its digital asset infrastructure capabilities. The deal marks MoonPay’s sixth announced acquisition in 2026. Its earlier acquisitions this year include Sodot, Decent, DFlow, Entendre and Dawn Labs. MoonPay’s backers include Thrive Capital, Paradigm, Valhalla Ventures, Tiger Global Management and Coatue.

MoonPay apologizes after false post about MooDeng’s death, halts AI intern test

MoonPay said a false post on X claiming celebrity hippo MooDeng had died was caused by a test tied to its “AI Intern V1.0” project. The crypto payments company said the test failed, the system still needs work, and related testing has now been paused and “sent back for repairs.” MoonPay also said MooDeng is fine, describing the animal as still “chubby, happy and very healthy.” The company apologized for the false report and any market concern it may have triggered, and said the post has been deleted. MoonPay added that the incident showed its AI agent project still has issues to address before any formal rollout.
