Safeguarding the Future of Finance: MoonPay CISO Doug Innocenti

As crypto transforms global payments, MoonPay is leading the adoption of this new financial frontier, prioritizing security and customer protection

Cryptocurrency adoption is accelerating worldwide. Today, one in five Americans owns some form of crypto. In 2024, stablecoin transfers reached $27.6 trillion — outpacing the combined transaction volume of Visa and Mastercard. Global financial hubs are rapidly developing regulatory frameworks for digital assets, and the United States recently established a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve. These milestones make one thing increasingly clear: What was once dismissed as a speculative experiment is now emerging as a driving force in the financial ecosystem.

As crypto gains broader acceptance among individuals and institutions alike, one company is leading the charge in onboarding millions into this new frontier: MoonPay.
