Together, these strategic investors represent industries that are poised to be massively transformed by Web3 technology.

“Web3 is radically changing how we think about creative value,” said MoonPay’s co-founder and CEO, Ivan Soto-Wright. “We're on the cusp of a creative crypto renaissance, and our strategic investors are helping to lead that movement. We're honored to work with them to help onboard the world to Web3.”

The funding is part of our historic $555 million Series A financing round, which valued us at $3.4bn and has helped us forge partnerships with leading organizations like OpenSea, Michael Jordan’s “Heir Jordan,” Tom Brady’s Autograph, and FaZe Clan. It has also allowed us to significantly grow our global footprint by launching products such as NFT Checkout, our NFT solution that allows users to purchase an NFT instantly with a credit or debit card, and MoonPay Concierge, which is helping high-profile individuals buy NFTs.

MoonPay wants to bring about a future in which Web3 not only goes mainstream, but is also leveraged by creatives, artists, and athletes to reap the full rewards of their work. Today’s announcement is proof that these industry leaders trust our vision.
