Moonpay's ambitions go beyond payments

Known for allowing consumers to buy crypto with major payment methods and for helping celebs snap up NFTs, Moonpay has ambitious plans to move beyond its core business.

Why it matters: Moonpay reached mainstream vernacular last year by inking deals with celebrities and major studios such as Universal. But its end-game is much more than just the consumers' discretionary spending.

CEO Ivan Soto-Wright spoke to Axios about the company's ambitions last week, noting an interest in perhaps one day putting medical records on the blockchain.
