MoonPay has acquired Entendre, an AI-powered finance operations platform, in a deal that moves the crypto payments company into accounting, treasury management, and financial operations automation for businesses operating across the digital asset ecosystem. The acquisition, announced this week, positions MoonPay to serve finance teams struggling with the operational complexity of managing transactions across multiple entities, currencies, and blockchain networks.
Stablecoin adoption has enabled businesses to operate globally from day one, but it has also created friction for finance departments. Teams must reconcile transactions across onchain and offchain systems, handle cross-border payments, and manage multiple payment rails - all in real time. Entendre built its platform to address exactly this problem, automating accounting workflows and consolidating financial data so firms spend less time on manual reconciliation.
The push into agentic finance
MoonPay describes Entendre's technology as part of an "agentic finance" layer - infrastructure that lets businesses automate reconciliation, treasury functions, and financial close processes through AI-powered agents rather than manual workflows. The idea is straightforward: if payments move at blockchain speed, the back office should not be stuck at spreadsheet speed.
Ivan Soto-Wright, CEO and co-founder of MoonPay, said: "Legacy software was built for manual workflows. The next financial system will be coordinated by humans and agents. If businesses are going to adopt stablecoins at scale, their finance operations need the same speed, context and automation as the payments themselves. Entendre takes us deeper into the agentic finance layer so businesses can operate in this new paradigm."
Automating accounting across chains and currencies
Entendre's platform is already used by several digital asset firms to reduce the manual effort tied to on-chain financial activity. Finance professionals who work with digital assets are increasingly encountering automated tools that handle reconciliation, treasury management, and financial close - functions traditionally done manually across fragmented systems.
Kareem Khattab, co-founder of Entendre, said: "We started Entendre because managing crypto finances was unnecessarily complex. Joining MoonPay allows us to accelerate that mission at a much larger scale and build the financial operating system for the internet economy."
The acquisition fits into MoonPay's broader strategy of expanding across digital asset infrastructure and enterprise services. As stablecoin usage grows, the company is betting that payments alone will not be enough - businesses will need integrated financial operations tools that match the speed of onchain settlement.
Why this matters for finance professionals
The MoonPay-Entendre deal signals where enterprise crypto infrastructure is heading. Payments and financial operations are converging, and the firms that master automated reconciliation and real-time treasury management will have an edge as stablecoin adoption scales. For finance professionals, the practical takeaway is clear: manual reconciliation and multi-system financial closes are becoming liabilities. Familiarity with AI-powered finance operations platforms - whether through direct use or AI-driven finance tools - is quickly shifting from optional to essential.
