DeFi Trading allows you to buy and sell crypto assets directly from a decentralized exchange using your non-custodial wallet without relying on traditional intermediaries like centralized exchanges. Through MoonPay’s integration, you can access the world of decentralized finance seamlessly, for just $1, and without the need of a Crypto PhD. MoonPay’s simple in-app experience makes trading Solana and USDC (SOL) easy and affordable, and unlocks a vast library of tokens.

MoonPay Balance makes buying and selling cryptocurrencies on MoonPay even easier. This new feature allows users in the EU, UK, and US to top up their MoonPay account in fiat currencies like euros, pounds and dollars for a smoother checkout experience. When you use your MoonPay Balance, you get to enjoy faster transactions, higher approval rates and zero-fee withdrawals when you decide to sell crypto for fiat.

Yes, MoonPay is a decentralized crypto on-ramp and off-ramp that is available in over 180 countries. MoonPay does not store crypto centrally for users, and all MoonPay products are non-custodial in nature.

To access DeFi Trading, you just need to have USDC (SOL) or Solana in your MoonPay Solana wallet. Don’t have any tokens yet? With MoonPay, you can top up using fiat, your MoonPay Balance, or deposit tokens from another wallet or centralized exchange. To top up with fiat, open the MoonPay app, select Solana or USDC (SOL), and buy using your preferred payment method.

Once you have Solana (SOL) or USDC (SOL) in your MoonPay Solana Wallet, just tap "Discover” (the magnifying glass) and search for the token you want to trade for. Enter the amount you’d like to buy (starting from just $1) and confirm your trade. It’s that easy.

Yes, you can sell crypto assets directly from your Solana wallet in the MoonPay app and receive USDC (Solana) or Solana in return. Just go to your Portfolio, select the token you want to sell, and confirm the transaction. Keep in mind, availability depends on market liquidity, meaning some tokens may not always be swappable at the price you want, or at all. But when conditions allow, selling crypto is a seamless way to cash out your crypto into a stablecoin like USDC (Solana), or withdraw to your MoonPay Balance.

DeFi offers powerful tools, but also comes with potential risks. Prices can swing quickly, some tokens might have low liquidity, and blockchain networks can experience congestion or technical issues. While MoonPay makes DeFi more accessible and user-friendly, you’re still trading peer-to-peer using decentralized infrastructure. Always double-check wallet addresses, understand the asset you're trading, and be aware that not all trades may be successful due to liquidity or market conditions. We're here to help 24/7, but in the decentralized world, you’re always in the driver’s seat, and MoonPay isn’t entering into any trades with you.

Cryptocurrency, or “crypto” for short, is digital currency for the internet age. Unlike traditional money (fiat currency) that only works in specific geographical areas and relies on governments and banks, crypto can work globally without a central authority to manage it.
Some of the most popular cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), as well as stablecoins like Tether (USDT) and USDC (USDC).
