MoonPay Secures NY Trust Charter, Paving Way for Institutional Crypto Custody

2025/11/26 04:38

MoonPay receives a New York Limited Purpose Trust Charter from the NYDFS.
The company’s CEO says this move strengthens governance, compliance, and relationships with financial institutions.
The charter could open a path for the company to issue a stablecoin, though it would need separate approval from NYDFS.

What the Trust Charter Means

The NYDFS licensed MoonPay Trust Company, LLC as a Limited Purpose Trust Company, which provides the opportunity to serve as a fiduciary for digital assets. This means, in practice, that the company can hold crypto on behalf of clients, such as asset managers or banks, in a legally regulated way.

The trust charter complements the company’s existing BitLicense, placing it in a small group of regulated crypto firms (e.g., Coinbase, Ripple).

Strategic Implications

The charter represents the company’s commitment to “the highest standards of compliance, security, and governance,” said CEO Ivan Soto-Wright. By having the trust company, the company will be able to expand its institutional offerings to meet demand from banks, fintechs, and asset managers who require regulated custody.

The company also plans to consider the issuance of a regulated stablecoin in New York-but that would take additional approval from the NYDFS.
