MoonPay announced a definitive agreement on September 23, 2026 to acquire North Capital Investment Technology, a Salt Lake City-based private-markets infrastructure provider. The deal is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

MoonPay says North Capital’s affiliated businesses include SEC-registered broker-dealers, an alternative trading system, a transfer agent and an investment adviser, and provide capital-raising, asset-management, clearing, custody and secondary-trading services for exempt securities. MoonPay says North Capital has handled more than $8.7 billion in volume and approved over 1,250 assets; those figures are company claims. If completed, the acquisition would bring regulated private-market and tokenized-securities infrastructure into a crypto payments and tokenization company. The release does not disclose a purchase price, and integration, regulatory review and customer adoption remain open questions.

This is a company-announced agreement, not a completed acquisition. The scale figures and strategic benefits are MoonPay claims; no price or independently verified customer outcomes were disclosed.
