MoonPay, a crypto payments platform, on Monday said it has acquired Entendre, an AI-powered finance operations startup built for companies that move, settle or hold value on-chain.
The deal extends MoonPay's infrastructure into the back office, bringing software agents to the reconciliation, treasury, and book-close workflows behind digital-asset transactions, according to a press release.
Entendre automates finance operations for high-volume, multi-currency businesses, and counts Polygon Labs, Thirdweb and Babylon Labs among its customers.
According to MoonPay, the problem Entendre solves is "fundamental to how blockchain finance works."
A single stablecoin payment, wallet sweep, exchange trade, gas fee, bridge transaction, vendor invoice, card charge, or token movement can touch several disconnected systems before it ever reaches a general ledger. The blockchain records that value moved, but not the customer, business purpose, invoice, legal entity, accounting treatment, approval trail, or reporting impact. Stitching that together has meant hours of manual work across block explorers, CSV exports, spreadsheets, and accounting platforms. Entendre automates the entire chain: from transaction to classification, reconciliation, journal entry, exception handling, and audit-ready record.
The acquisition follows MoonPay's purchases of key-management firm Sodot and trade-execution startups Decent and DFlow. Terms were not disclosed.
MoonPay's agentic push
MoonPay has been aggressively pushing into agentic payments and finance.
DeAI News reported in March that MoonPay was open-sourcing an "Open Wallet" layer it pitched as an industry standard for how AI agents interact with crypto wallets.
Also in March, the company integrated Ledger hardware-wallet signing into its AI crypto agents, so users approve agent-initiated transaction on a physical device and private keys stay away from the agent.
Then in May, MoonPay launched "MoonAgents Card," which lets agents spend stablecoins from an on-chain wallet at any merchant that accepts Mastercard.
