ICE eyes $5b bet on MoonPay as Wall Street dives deeper into crypto

Intercontinental Exchange, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, is reportedly eyeing an investment in crypto payments firm MoonPay, which is targeting a $5 billion valuation in its latest funding round.

Summary
  • Intercontinental Exchange, owner of the NYSE, is in talks to invest in crypto payments firm MoonPay.
  • The company, which facilitates fiat-to-crypto conversions, has acquired multiple startups this year and launched a stablecoin business.
  • The investment reflects growing institutional interest in digital assets, with crypto venture funding hitting nearly $19 billion so far in 2025.

MoonPay, which helps users hop between dollars and digital coins, has been busy this year snapping up startups and launching a stablecoin business.

The move comes as Wall Street increasingly wades into digital assets, encouraged by a friendlier political climate under President Trump. Adding to the star power, former acting CFTC chair Caroline Pham is joining MoonPay as chief legal officer.

With crypto venture funding hitting nearly $19 billion in 2025, MoonPay’s $5 billion fundraising spree is another sign that Wall Street is getting serious about betting on the future of digital money.

Meanwhile, Exodus is preparing to launch a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin in partnership with MoonPay and infrastructure provider M0, enabling everyday payments and self-custody within its Exodus Pay app.

Unlike traditional stablecoins built for trading, the token will be fully reserved with dollar deposits and integrated directly into the wallet, allowing users to hold, send, and spend balances without routing through external exchanges.

MoonPay will handle issuance and reserve management, leveraging its existing payments network, while M0 provides the underlying infrastructure.

The stablecoin is expected to go live in early 2026, pending regulatory approval, with additional details—including supported blockchains and the token’s name—set to be announced closer to launch.

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

The post Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the U.S. SEC  to raise more capital for additional SOL accumulation. Forward Strategies Doubles Down On Solana Strategy In a Wednesday press release, Forward Industries revealed that the 4 billion ATM equity offering program will allow the company to issue and sell common stock via Cantor Fitzgerald under a sales agreement dated Sept. 16, 2025. Forward said proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” including the pursuit of its Solana balance sheet and purchases of income-generating assets. The sales of the shares are covered by an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that is already effective – meaning the shares will be tradable once they’re sold. An automatic shelf registration allows certain publicly listed companies to raise capital with flexibility swiftly.  Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, astutely described the ATM offering as “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to raise and deploy capital for the company’s Solana strategy and bolster its balance sheet.  Advertisement &nbsp Though the maximum amount is listed as $4 billion, the firm indicated that sales may or may not occur depending on existing market conditions. “The ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision,” Samani said. Forward Industries kicked off its Solana treasury strategy on Sept. 8. The Wednesday S-3 form follows Forward’s $1.65 billion private investment in public equity that closed last week, led by crypto heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital. The company started deploying that capital this week, announcing it snatched up 6.8 million SOL for approximately $1.58 billion at an average price of $232…
