Discover Network Joins MoonPay for Crypto Purchases

6 sourcesUpdated Jul 23, 2026

MoonPay has added Discover Network to its US payment options, making Discover the third major card rail alongside Visa and Mastercard. The expansion enables Discover cardholders to buy and sell crypto through MoonPay’s network of more than 500 enterprise partners, including wallets, exchanges, and apps. MoonPay frames the move as part of its broader strategy to ensure every familiar payment method works for crypto, a pattern it began with PayPal and Venmo. Individual card-issuing banks still decide whether specific Discover transactions can be used for cryptocurrency purchases. In addition to card networks, MoonPay already supports methods like Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Venmo, bank transfers, and regional rails, broadening checkout options for users. The deal positions MoonPay to operate across all three major US card rails and continue expanding its crypto on-ramp infrastructure.

BitGo completes NYDIG institutional trading acquisition

BitGo completed the acquisition of NYDIG’s institutional trading business, adding about 30 NYDIG employees and expanding its derivatives, financing, and capital markets capabilities to serve institutional clients, while NYDIG pivots toward bitcoin mining and power generation. The deal comes as BitGo trades around 0.04x sales with a GF Score of 15/100, accompanied by $7.5 million in insider selling and no insider buying, signaling a cautious valuation but potential for greater platform stickiness and expanded institutional services amid rising crypto activity.

The reports underscore ongoing privacy and regulatory concerns around crypto exchanges, questioning GDPR compliance and the broader implications of cooperation with Russian authorities since 2021.
