Moonpay Moves Into AI-Native Trading With Dawn Labs Acquisition and Dawn CLI Launch

"Moonpay revealed it acquired Dawn Labs on Monday and launched Dawn CLI, an artificial intelligence (AI)-native trading tool that converts plain English strategy descriptions into autonomous trade execution on supported venues."

"Dawn CLI automates the full trading lifecycle, targeting fragmented infrastructure on platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi. Moonpay now serves 30 million customers across 180 countries as it pushes deeper into AI-native financial infrastructure."

"A user describes a strategy in plain English, and the system converts it into executable code, runs automated research and simulation, and executes trades autonomously on supported venues. Dawn Labs was founded in 2025 by Neeraj Prasad, a computer science and engineering graduate of MIT who conducted machine learning research in the university's neuroscience labs."

"Building a trading strategy has traditionally required skills across research, software development, and portfolio management. Dawn CLI is designed to close that gap. The acquisition brings Prasad and the full Dawn team into Moonpay. He will serve as Chief Engineer of Moonpay Labs."

The tool targets fragmented trading infrastructure on platforms such as Polymarket and Kalshi. Dawn CLI automates the full trading lifecycle by translating user strategies into executable code, running automated research and simulation, and executing trades without manual intervention. Prediction markets have expanded rapidly in crypto, with traders using social signals, automated strategies, and cross-platform positioning, while infrastructure remains fragmented and technically demanding. Dawn Labs was founded in 2025 by Neeraj Prasad, who previously worked at Waymo, Microsoft, Citadel, and Reservoir Labs. The acquisition adds Prasad as Chief Engineer of Moonpay Labs and brings the Dawn team into Moonpay.
