# Briefing: MoonPay Launches "MoonPay Trade" for Institutional Asset Tokenization
Digital asset infrastructure provider MoonPay has launched **MoonPay Trade**, a new business-to-business platform designed to give commercial banks, fintechs, and asset managers native access to tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols.
The platform serves as the execution engine for **MoonPay Institutional**, a new enterprise division led by Caroline D. Pham, the prominent former acting CFTC Chairman and Chief Legal Officer at MoonPay.
### Key Capabilities of MoonPay Trade
Operating via a single API integration, the tool allows traditional financial firms to leverage public blockchains without building in-house infrastructure. Key features include:
* **Multi-Chain Routing:** Low-latency trade execution across more than 200 distinct blockchains and protocols, including Ethereum, Solana, and Base.
* **Aggregated Liquidity:** Utilizes cross-chain technologies from MoonPay's recent corporate acquisitions, including *Decent.xyz* (bridging/smart contracts) and *DFlow* (high-speed trading engines).
* **Fiat-to-Onchain Conversion:** Supports direct, instant settlement between 120+ traditional fiat currencies and public on-chain networks.
* **Institutional-Grade Compliance:** Includes built-in, automated global regulatory reporting, Know Your Customer (KYC), and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) monitoring.
### The Tokenization Market Outlook
MoonPay's corporate shift aligns with an unprecedented explosion in tokenized real-world assets (such as tokenized treasury bonds and private credit), which have surpassed **$25 billion in on-chain value**.
