MoonPay has signed a deal to buy North Capital, whose brokerage subsidiary operates the PPEX private-securities trading venue. The acquisition still needs regulatory approval and must meet other closing conditions. If completed, it would add regulated brokerage and secondary trading to MoonPay’s crypto payments business. Customers have no announced access yet: the companies disclosed no product launch date, eligibility rules or purchase price. https://cryptoslate.com/moonpay-targets-8-7b-trading-venue-but-the-features-remain-unrevealed/
