- On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, MoonPay revealed on X the launch of MoonPay Trade via Ledger Wallet.
- The integration allows users to trade assets across multiple blockchains while also providing safety to the users through Ledger’s security infrastructure.
- As demand for crypto trading grows, the feature offers a safe way to trade digital assets without exposing private keys.
On June 16, MoonPay, a leading financial technology platform for digital assets, announced that MoonPay Trade is now available directly through Ledger Wallet.
The official announcement stated that the integration will allow users of Ledger Wallet to access services like swapping and trading while keeping their private keys secured on their hardware wallet.
“We’re excited to announce that MoonPay Trade is now live via Ledger Wallet™, giving users access to fast, competitive decentralized cross-chain trading without leaving the security of the Ledger ecosystem,” stated the official announcement.
What is MoonPay Trade?
MoonPay Trade is a trading product from MoonPay, which was launched in May 2026 as a unified system to access liquidity and execute trades. This platform is developed for both decentralized finance users and institutional investors.
MoonPay Trade is developed on technology from Decent.xyz, which is a Y Combinator-backed cross-chain routing company that MoonPay has recently acquired. It is working as a single connection point for more than 200 blockchains and protocols.
The announcement comes at a time when the crypto sector has witnessed major exploits (such as Kelp DAO exploit, Drift Protocol exploit, Humanity Protocol incident) in the last few months and lost millions of dollars. Due to the same reason, demand for secure on-chain trading solutions is growing as many big institutions are rushing to integrate decentralized finance and tokenized assets.
Ledger has integrated MoonPay Trade into its application ecosystem. This will allow users to swap cryptocurrencies on both desktop and mobile versions of the Ledger Wallet. They will be able to access trade for assets present on the Ledger interface. After that, Moonpay Trades will take care of the routing, execution, and settlement across various blockchains.
This announcement comes after the earlier collaboration between MoonPay and Ledger Wallet. This includes features like buying and selling crypto assets.
Ivan Soto-Wright, Co-Founder and CEO of MoonPay, said, “Ledger has set the standard for self-custody, and their users expect the best. MoonPay Trade brings institutional-grade crypto trading into that environment. Users get competitive rates and fast settlement without ever stepping outside the security model they trust.”
While MoonPay will handle liquidity aggregation from various sources, all transactions will need approval through the Ledger signer.
Recent Integrations and MoonPay’s Expansion
The integration of MoonPay Trade on Ledger Wallet is another chapter in the recent series of partnerships. MoonPay has provided the ability to buy cryptocurrency directly on Ledger Live, the companion application that is used to manage assets on Ledger hardware wallets. The company has also increased the number of coins it supports and added payment methods such as Apple Pay.
Moreover, back in December 2024, the platform also introduced a sell functionality. This feature would allow users to cash out through local bank transfers and cards in many countries.
In March 2026, MoonPay added support for the Ledger signer to its MoonPay Agents product. These are autonomous AI trading tools, which allow users to verify and approve every transaction on their hardware device without even revealing their private keys.
Amid the growing adoption of crypto trading among institutional investors, the integration of MoonPay directly on the Ledger wallet will open the door for new investors to join the crypto sector.
