MoonPay has acquired DFlow, a Solana blockchain trading platform, for $100 million in stock. The deal values the startup at roughly 13 times its total fundraising.

DFlow, which facilitates trading on the Solana network, raised $7.5 million across two funding rounds before the acquisition. The $100 million valuation represents a significant return for early investors. MoonPay, a crypto payment and infrastructure company, added DFlow to strengthen its position in the Solana ecosystem. The platform enables decentralized trading and liquidity solutions on Solana. The acquisition marks continued consolidation in the crypto infrastructure space. MoonPay previously raised $555 million at a $3 billion valuation in 2021. DFlow's addition expands MoonPay's capabilities beyond payment processing into trading and liquidity services. Both companies operate in the cryptocurrency infrastructure sector, which has faced headwinds following recent market downturns and regulatory scrutiny. DFlow's Solana focus positions MoonPay in one of the blockchain industry's fastest-growing ecosystems outside Ethereum.
