MoonPay’s Hyperliquid Hijinks: Stablecoins, Sarcasm, and a Sprinkle of Solana

by

A Modest Announcement

  • MoonPay, with a flourish of digital pomp, now embraces USDH and USDC on the so-called Hypercore infrastructure.
  • This marvel is, of course, facilitated by their Gateway technology-a term that evokes both grandeur and the faint whiff of a tollbooth.
  • Citizens of the U.S. (New York, as always, excluded) and the U.K. may now partake in this financial fandango.

MoonPay, that self-proclaimed crypto payment network, has deigned to announce the immediate availability of USDH and USDC stablecoins on Hypercore, the blockchain infrastructure of Hyperliquid. This integration, powered by their Gateway technology, allows users to leap from the mundane world of fiat currencies directly into the dizzying heights of Hyperliquid’s ecosystem. How quaint.

According to their official proclamation, this update expands MoonPay’s on-ramp abilities-a phrase that sounds suspiciously like a real estate agent describing a driveway. The company assures us that this integration employs a gateway for trading on-chain using decentralized exchange aggregators, now accessible to clients in the United States (minus New York, the eternal outcast) and the United Kingdom.

This initiative, we are told, emphasizes live support across major networks such as Solana, Ethereum, Base, and now Hypercore. How very inclusive.

Partners Rejoice: No Extra Toil Required

Hypercore, the trading infrastructure layer within the Hyperliquid blockchain ecosystem, supports perpetual futures and spot trading through a central limit order book. It is designed, naturally, for high-throughput order placement and settlement, and operates alongside HyperEVM. A true marvel of modern engineering, no doubt.

MoonPay’s Relentless Acquisition Spree

In a separate, yet equally thrilling development, MoonPay has acquired Decent, a Y Combinator-backed infrastructure offering crypto transaction solutions across blockchains. This acquisition, valued in the upper eight figures, marks MoonPay’s fourth such deal this year. How they find the time, one wonders.

With this acquisition complete, MoonPay has launched MoonPay Trade, a product aimed at banks, financial technology firms, asset managers, and businesses in general. It offers access to tokenized assets, decentralized finance services, and stablecoin liquidity through a single integration point. How convenient.

MoonPay Trade integrates Decent’s router system, bridges, and liquidity pool with MoonPay’s existing infrastructure for onboarding, off-boarding, and compliance services like KYC and AML. A veritable smorgasbord of financial jargon.

Adoption Details: Stay Tuned for the Cliffhanger

On the flip side, more information is expected to emerge about actual usage figures or expansions into other areas. Whether these added functionalities will lead to an increase in transactions and on-chain activity on Hypercore remains to be seen. The suspense is, indeed, palpable.

The introduction of support for Hypercore is yet another addition to the networks and tokens supported by MoonPay, though it scarcely indicates any changes in the company’s main business model, which involves purchasing cryptocurrencies. How revolutionary.
