Ether.fi Integrates MoonPay Stack Into Self-Custodial Neobank

Ether.fi, a crypto neobank designed around a unified account for saving and growing digital assets, has deployed MoonPay's complete infrastructure stack, bringing fiat on-ramps, cross-chain trading, institutional-grade virtual accounts, and crypto deposit capabilities into a single self-custodial platform, the companies announced October 6, 2026.

The integration centers on MoonPay's headless ramp technology, which allows users to move money into and out of the neobank without surrendering control of their private keys — a friction point that has historically pushed retail users toward centralized exchanges. By embedding the full MoonPay stack rather than individual components, Ether.fi aims to replicate the convenience of a traditional neobank while keeping assets under user control.

The partnership reflects a broader industry push to lower the operational complexity of decentralized finance by bundling previously fragmented services — ramps, custody, and liquidity — into cohesive consumer products.
