Moon Inc. partners with BitGo to enhance its Bitcoin-linked prepaid card offerings throughout Asia. Through BitGo Singapore Pte. Ltd., a regulated entity under the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the collaboration provides secure custody and infrastructure to integrate digital assets into Moon Inc.’s platform.
Strategic Infrastructure Boost
This alliance equips Moon Inc. with institutional-grade tools to expand digital asset use in consumer finance. BitGo’s services support scalable operations, enabling seamless Bitcoin integration for prepaid cards distributed across the region.
Abel Seow, Managing Director and Head of APAC at BitGo, highlights the partnership’s role in growth: “Moon Inc. leads digital asset integration in Asian consumer finance. Our infrastructure supports institutions scaling securely, accelerating Bitcoin-powered payments across Asia.”
Russ Jacobsen, COO of Moon Inc., selected BitGo for its strengths: “We assessed global providers on security, API capabilities, and scalability. BitGo’s biometric multi-signature setup, batch processing, and proven handling of billions in assets set it apart.”
Initial Rollout and Future Plans
BitGo first backs Moon Inc.’s prepaid Bitcoin gift card program, which already handles wholesale transactions. These cards launch in Hong Kong retail stores and Moon Inc.’s online shop this month. Expansion targets Moon Inc.’s next consumer card product in Q2 2026.
While custodial solutions like BitGo’s offer regulated security for issuers, they underscore ongoing debates in crypto adoption. Public Bitcoin transactions remain traceable on transparent ledgers, exposing user activity to surveillance. Self-custody alternatives and privacy-enhanced assets, such as BTCX on Zano’s Confidential Layer, allow Bitcoin holders to transact with greater anonymity, preserving fungibility and reducing wallet traceability risks.
Company Profiles
BitGo delivers custody, wallets, staking, trading, financing, stablecoins, and settlement from regulated cold storage. Since 2013, it advances the shift to a digital asset economy, serving institutions, exchanges, and millions of investors globally through entities like BitGo Bank & Trust.
Moon Inc., listed on HKEX: 1723, dominates prepaid distribution in Asia with nearly 30 years supplying SIM and stored-value cards. It pioneers Bitcoin prepaid cards as Greater China’s first public issuer, leveraging wholesale networks for expansion into Japan, Thailand, South Korea, Taiwan, and more.
