The Big News: Trezor and MoonPay Join Forces

This week in the world of cryptocurrencies, Trezor, the well-known hardware wallet company from the Czech Republic, struck a partnership deal with MoonPay. Why is this significant? Because it means that Trezor customers can now buy crypto directly from their wallets. No more complicated transfers or exchanges—just pure, sweet cryptocurrency goodness right at your fingertips.

Meet MoonPay: The Crypto Payment Maverick

If you haven’t heard of MoonPay, where have you been? Backed by big names like Tiger Global and the entertainment world’s own Justin Bieber and Snoop Dogg (yes, you read that correctly), this crypto payment service lets users buy and sell cryptocurrencies and NFTs with a variety of payment options, including debit and credit cards. MoonPay raised a whopping $87 million in April 2022 to further its ambitions in the NFT and Web3 spaces. Talk about a solid foundation for a partnership!

What This Means for Trezor Users

Trezor users are in for a treat. Thanks to this collaboration, purchasing cryptocurrencies has never been easier. The integration incorporates purchase and sell features directly into the Trezor wallet, thanks to a previous partnership with Invity. With Trezor now supporting over 1,000 cryptocurrencies—from old favorites like Bitcoin (BTC) to emerging tokens—users will have an extensive range to choose from.

A User-Friendly Experience

For those who have previously used MoonPay with other partners, you’re in luck. Your account will already be set up, meaning you can begin trading in a flash. However, first-time MoonPay users will need to undergo basic ‘Know Your Customer’ checks based on the amount they wish to transact. It sounds tedious, but hey, it’s for your own safety! And did we mention that the buying feature is ready to roll, while selling will be added later? Trezor is clearly making moves to enhance user convenience.

Trezor Suite: The Gateway to Crypto Purchases

Trezor isn’t new to crypto purchasing—its native app, Trezor Suite, has offered buy options since late 2020. But this new partnership with MoonPay takes it to another level. As MoonPay’s senior business development manager, Antonio Talledo, noted, the aim is to provide secure, borderless, and hassle-free transactions, tapping into the needs of security-conscious cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Financial freedom never looked so good!
