TechFlame News – According to Decrypt, MoonPay has acquired AI trading startup Dawn Labs and launched Dawn CLI, an AI-powered trading assistant designed for prediction markets. The product enables users to generate and execute automated crypto trading strategies through natural language commands, with initial support for Polymarket.
MoonPay stated that Dawn CLI integrates the process of "strategy description – code generation – trade execution" into a single interface, lowering the barrier to quantitative and automated trading. Neeraj Prasad, founder of Dawn Labs and lead engineer at MoonPay Labs, noted that users do not need a development or quantitative background—simply describing a strategy in natural language is enough for the system to handle execution automatically.
MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright said that AI agents will be capable of independently developing and executing complex trading strategies, marking a key part of MoonPay’s next phase in AI-powered financial infrastructure. Previously, MoonPay had launched an AI agent stablecoin payment card, open-sourced an AI wallet standard, and acquired crypto key management company Sodot.
