MoonPay Appoints Former NYSE Executive Anne Giviskos as CFO to Drive Global Market Expansion

MoonPay has appointed Anne Giviskos as Chief Financial Officer, a strategic hire that signals the company’s transition from a crypto on-ramp into a diversified financial infrastructure provider. For fintech professionals, this move highlights the increasing intersection of traditional corporate finance discipline with the rapidly scaling onchain capital markets and agentic finance sectors.

What was announced

Anne Giviskos joins MoonPay following her tenure as Interim CFO and Chief Accounting Officer at Navan, the AI-driven business travel and expense platform. Her appointment comes during a period of aggressive expansion for MoonPay, which has recently pivoted toward building what it describes as an "operating system for value." This expansion is underpinned by several major product launches and acquisitions aimed at institutional and enterprise users.

The company recently introduced MoonPay Trade, a single API that provides applications and institutions with access to more than 200 blockchains and protocols. This follows the acquisition of DFlow, a Solana-based trading infrastructure platform. DFlow has demonstrated significant market penetration, processing $45 billion in volume so far in 2026 and appearing in more than 95% of daily Solana blocks. MoonPay’s infrastructure now powers some of the largest crypto platforms, enabling Solana trades for Coinbase and cross-chain swaps within Ledger Wallet.

Further diversifying its portfolio, MoonPay launched PayBox to grow its agentic finance offerings and reached an agreement in September to acquire North Capital. This latter move is designed to facilitate the company’s expansion into onchain capital markets. Currently, MoonPay serves 35 million customers across 180 countries and maintains a client base of over 1,500 enterprise partners in the crypto and fintech industries. Giviskos will now lead the finance organization, setting financial and capital strategy while building the infrastructure to support the company's next phase of growth.

"Anne knows how to help ambitious companies navigate defining moments. She brings experience from public markets and fast-growing technology companies, along with the judgment and discipline to help MoonPay expand responsibly across payments, stablecoins and financial markets."

Ivan Soto-Wright, founder and CEO of MoonPay.

The companies involved

MoonPay, founded in 2019, has established itself as a dominant force in the movement of value between fiat and digital assets. The company provides the underlying infrastructure for payments, trading, and stablecoin services, connecting traditional payment networks with blockchain rails. It operates with regulatory authorizations in various jurisdictions, including the United States and the European Union. MoonPay has become a frequent subject of industry analysis, with a significant presence in the global fintech ecosystem.

The company’s recent growth is bolstered by the integration of DFlow, a specialist in Solana trading infrastructure, and North Capital, a firm focused on the evolution of capital markets. DFlow’s technology is a critical component of the Solana ecosystem, providing the high-volume processing power required by major platforms like Coinbase. North Capital brings expertise in the regulated securities space, which is essential for MoonPay’s push into tokenized assets. Additionally, Giviskos’s former employer, Navan, represents the high-growth technology background from which MoonPay is drawing its new leadership, emphasizing a focus on AI and automated financial workflows.

What FF News has reported before

FF News has closely tracked MoonPay’s rapid global expansion and its shift toward institutional infrastructure. In late September 2026, we reported on the MoonPay Acquires North Capital to Dominate Tokenized Real-World Assets and Onchain Capital Markets, which marked a significant step into the regulated securities space. This was followed by the company’s aggressive move into the Asia-Pacific region, as detailed in MoonPay Expands into APAC with MoonPay Korea and Major Banking Partnerships, involving major institutions like KakaoBank and Woori.

More recently, our coverage has focused on the company’s technical partnerships. On October 7, we covered how Ether.fi Taps MoonPay to Power Self-Custodial Neobank with Unified Payments Stack. This was followed by news of MoonPay Korea Taps BTQ Technologies to Secure Won-Backed Stablecoin Infrastructure with Post-Quantum Cryptography, highlighting the company’s focus on long-term security in the stablecoin market.

What this means

The appointment of a CFO with deep experience in public markets and AI-driven platforms suggests that MoonPay is moving beyond its initial startup phase and into a period of institutional consolidation. By integrating high-volume trading infrastructure like DFlow and capital markets expertise from North Capital, the company is positioning itself as a direct competitor to traditional financial intermediaries. The industry is currently facing a critical question: can crypto-native infrastructure providers maintain their agility while adopting the rigorous financial controls required by global regulators? This hire indicates that the market is prioritizing corporate discipline as the path to achieving mainstream financial dominance.
