MoonPay acquires North Capital for securities market expansion

MoonPay has agreed to buy North Capital Investment Technology for more than $60 million in stock. The deal was announced on September 23, 2026. North Capital is a financial technology company based in Salt Lake City, Utah. It helps businesses issue and trade private securities using an API-based system. The company has handled around $9 billion in transactions. When the deal closes, North Capital will become part of MoonPay. MoonPay will gain important U.S. regulatory licences, including a broker-dealer licence and investment adviser credentials. This will allow MoonPay to operate in regulated securities markets. MoonPay already serves over 35 million customers across 180 countries. Both companies' boards have approved the deal, but regulators must still give their approval.
