Ether.fi Integrates MoonPay Stack Into Self-Custodial Neobank
Ether.fi embeds MoonPay's full infrastructure—ramps, cross-chain trading, and virtual accounts—while preserving user self-custody.
Ether.fi, a crypto neobank designed around a unified account for saving and growing digital assets, has deployed MoonPay's complete infrastructure stack, bringing fiat on-ramps, cross-chain trading, institutional-grade virtual accounts, and crypto deposit capabilities under one roof without requiring users to surrender control of their funds.

The arrangement illustrates how payments infrastructure providers are evolving from point-of-purchase ramps into full-service financial plumbing for crypto-native platforms.
