Intercontinental Exchange Group, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, is in talks with crypto payment company MoonPay for funding, with a target valuation of approximately $5 billion. Since its founding in 2019, MoonPay has gained industry recognition, with its valuation increasing by 50% within two years. If the funding succeeds, traditional finance will further deepen its involvement in the crypto payment sector.

【Blockchain Rhythm】 Reports indicate that Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, is in talks with crypto payment company MoonPay Inc. for financing cooperation. This round of funding targets a valuation of approximately $5 billion. Both parties have not made an official response yet.

MoonPay was founded in 2019 and has accumulated a substantial user base and industry recognition in the crypto payment field. Notably, during its previous funding round at the end of 2021, the company’s valuation was $3.4 billion — in other words, over two years, MoonPay’s valuation is expected to jump from $3.4 billion to $5 billion, an increase of nearly 50%.

If this financing is successful, it will signify that traditional financial giants are further expanding into the crypto payment ecosystem.

ICE's move is really impressive; a 5 billion valuation has pushed MoonPay up sharply, and signals of traditional financial giants entering the market are becoming increasingly clear.

ICE's move is quite clever; traditional finance is starting to cross over... MoonPay's valuation has increased by fifty percent, these past two years have been crazy.

ICE's move is quite interesting; traditional finance can no longer sit still. Next year, this track will probably explode again.
