Ether.fi Integrates MoonPay's Infrastructure to Enhance Self-Custodial Neobanking Experience
Ether.fi, a self-custodial neobank for digital assets, has partnered with MoonPay to integrate its full infrastructure stack. This integration enables Ether.fi users to fund their accounts, move money internally, and cash out seamlessly without compromising control of their private keys. Unlike traditional neobanks that rely on multiple vendors for these functions—often leading to fragmented user experiences—Ether.fi aims to deliver a unified experience akin to mainstream fintech apps. The partnership is part of Ether.fi's broader strategy to grow through spending rather than speculation, as evidenced by significant growth in card usage. In September 2026 alone, users spent $123.7 million across 1.5 million transactions, a fivefold increase from the previous year. This trend has continued despite declines in Bitcoin prices over much of the same period. Ether.fi's model focuses on everyday spending rather than speculative trading, which insulates it somewhat from market volatility. The company leverages blockchain for faster and broader financial access while relying on MoonPay’s licensed infrastructure to handle fiat transactions globally.
