MoonPay appoints Anne Giviskos as chief financial officer

MoonPay has a new person minding the money. The company named Anne Giviskos chief financial officer for its global business, effective October 13, 2026.

The timing is not subtle. MoonPay has spent 2026 buying companies, launching products and pushing toward regulated finance, and someone now has to make all of that add up.

Who Anne Giviskos is

Giviskos comes to MoonPay from Navan. There she served as interim CFO and chief accounting officer.

Her longer résumé is the more interesting part. She brings more than two decades of finance experience, including ten years at NYSE and Euronext.

Her final role in that stretch was chief risk and compliance officer, a job she held until 2023.

CEO Ivan Soto-Wright framed the hire around responsible growth. He pointed to Giviskos’s track record running regulated businesses and executing mergers and acquisitions as the skills MoonPay needs for its next phase.

A busy year at MoonPay

The CFO announcement lands on top of a stack of other moves. In September 2026, MoonPay agreed to acquire North Capital, a deal aimed at building out access to onchain capital markets.

Onchain capital markets means issuing, trading and settling financial products like securities directly on blockchains. Think of it as moving the plumbing of Wall Street onto public ledgers, with all the regulatory paperwork that implies.

MoonPay has also acquired DFlow, a trading platform. DFlow has processed $45 billion in trading volume so far this year.

Then there is MoonPay Trade, launched recently. The product offers API access to more than 200 blockchains and protocols.

Giviskos is also not the only high-profile addition this year. MoonPay has brought in leaders from Wall Street and from the national security sector during 2026.

The stablecoin and regulated markets angle

Giviskos’s exchange and compliance background lines up with MoonPay’s push into regulated financial markets. Stablecoin initiatives are a central piece of that push.

Stablecoins are crypto tokens designed to hold a steady value, usually pegged to a currency like the US dollar. They are increasingly treated less like speculative assets and more like payment infrastructure, which pulls them toward the same oversight that applies to traditional finance.

What this means for MoonPay

The hire may signal how seriously MoonPay intends to compete in regulated markets. A CFO with deep exchange and compliance credentials could help build investor confidence in the company’s stability and growth potential.

The acquisition strategy raises the stakes further. North Capital still needs to be folded in once the deal closes, and DFlow’s $45 billion in volume has to be absorbed into MoonPay’s operations and reporting.

Each acquisition brings its own systems, controls and regulatory exposure. Soto-Wright’s emphasis on Giviskos’s M&A experience suggests MoonPay knows integration risk is the hard part, not the signing ceremony.

What to watch next is execution. Key markers include how quickly the North Capital deal closes, how MoonPay reports on DFlow’s contribution, and whether its stablecoin initiatives produce concrete regulated products.
