MoonPay Acquires Glide in Sixth Deal Announcement of 2026

MoonPay has acquired Glide, a Y Combinator-backed crypto deposits startup, in an all-equity transaction that brings Glide's technology and four-person team into the company. The deal adds another infrastructure layer to MoonPay's payments stack as the company continues to expand beyond fiat-to-crypto ramps into deposits, swaps, trading, commerce, institutional services, and stablecoin infrastructure. The companies began discussing the acquisition late last year, and the transaction has now closed. Glide co-founder and CEO Tushar Soni declined to disclose the size of the deal. Glide's full team, including co-founders Soni and Qinyu Tong, will join MoonPay. The Glide deal is MoonPay's sixth acquisition announcement of 2026.
