How MoonPay has championed Web3 advancement in recent times

As reported, the innovation was targeted at ensuring seamless access to the Web3 space. In the report, Binbits revealed that users can purchase cryptocurrencies without setting up an account in a centralized crypto exchange.

Similarly, MoonPay extended its dominating presence in the NFT space by partnering with Immutable X in December 2022. Then, reports indicated that collaboration aided MoonPay users in minting and owning NFTs through a payment feature established in their credit or debit cards.

The collaboration with MetaMask and ImmutableX emphasized the crypto company’s commitment to onboarding users into the Web3 space. Likewise, the launching of the investment organ highlighted the commitment of Moonpay to ensuring the advancement of the Web3 space.

Lately, Web3 has emerged as a top contention in the crypto and blockchain space. Owing to that, numerous blockchain companies have prioritized Web3 as the next big thing. Consequently, companies including MoonPay are pursuing the focus of establishing themselves as a force to reckon with in the decentralized internet space. Now, the numerous collaborations Moonpay has divulged will project the company as a leading figure in the industry.
