MoonPay opens multi‑chain memecoin rails

MoonPay has added cross-chain crypto deposits to Moonshot, letting users fund the memecoin trading app from nine blockchain networks in one flow. (prnewswire.com) MoonPay said the integration went live on April 15 and covers Arbitrum, Base, Bitcoin, Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum, Hyperliquid, Plasma, Polygon, and Solana. Moonshot is a Solana-based mobile trading app, and MoonPay said its deposit system now handles the swapping, bridging, and routing automatically. (prnewswire.com) Moonshot’s support pages describe the feature as a way to send coins such as Ether, Bitcoin, Tether, and other assets from outside networks directly into the app, with the funds converted on arrival into United States dollar coin or Solana. Moonshot says users no longer need to bridge or swap manually before trading. (support.moonshot.com) A blockchain is the network where a token lives, and moving assets between networks usually means using a bridge, a separate tool that can add extra steps, fees, and failure points. MoonPay is selling this product as a simpler wallet-to-wallet transfer layer for apps that want users to arrive with spendable balances instead of raw tokens on the wrong chain. (moonpay.com) MoonPay launched that deposits product on February 11, 2026, first rolling it out in Wallet in Telegram’s self-custodial TON Wallet. The Moonshot deal extends the same infrastructure into a trading app built around fast-moving memecoin activity, where traders often move funds across chains to chase launches and liquidity. (prnewswire.com) Moonshot has pushed multiple funding options as it tries to widen its retail audience. Its deposit page lists MoonPay, Coinbase, Robinhood, Binance, Revolut, cards, bank transfers, PayPal, Venmo, and Apple Pay, with availability varying by region. (support.moonshot.com) The app’s Google Play listing says cash balances are held in United States dollar coin and that trades happen on-chain through a self-custodial wallet, meaning users control the wallet rather than handing custody to the app. That setup makes deposits a bigger usability hurdle, because users still have to get the right asset to the right address before they can trade. (play.google.com) MoonPay has been repeating this playbook across consumer crypto apps. In March, the company announced a similar cross-chain deposit integration with Pump.fun, another Solana memecoin platform, using the same promise that users could fund accounts from multiple blockchains without handling the bridge themselves. (cryptobriefing.com) MoonPay says it does not custody customer funds in this product and only routes transfers that users already control from their own wallets. For Moonshot traders, the pitch is narrower: fewer setup steps between holding crypto on one chain and buying a token on another. (moonpay.com)
