Crypto.com Capital has invested in Moonlander, a next-generation perpetual trading platform built on Cronos EVM and zkEVM. Moonlander offers up to 1000x leverage on multiple crypto assets, bringing a feature once limited to centralized exchanges into a fully decentralized environment.

At its core is the Moonlander Liquidity Pool (MLP), designed for efficient capital use, minimal slippage, and sustainable yields. Liquidity providers earn rewards directly in native tokens and Cronos (CRO) from platform fees.

Powered by Cronos’ dual-chain infrastructure, Moonlander delivers scalability and ultra-low transaction costs, enabling high-frequency trading and passive income opportunities. Security is reinforced through real-time PYTH oracle feeds, protecting users from manipulation and unfair liquidations.

How the Crypto.com Capital Investment Will Be Used

The funds from Crypto.com Capital are for expanding Moonlander’s development team, enhancing platform features, and launching aggressive marketing campaigns. These targets aim to increase user adoption and liquidity.

Already, Moonlander reports more than $33 million in Total Value Locked (TVL) and over $2 billion in cumulative trading volume. The statistics underscore strong early traction within the DeFi sector.

Notably, Moonlander’s native utility and governance token, Full Moon (FM), was just listed on the Crypto.com App, opening global access to millions of users and supporting both trading and platform governance.

Leading the Way in DeFi

Moonlander is positioning itself as more than a trading platform by introducing features aimed at user engagement. These include token-specific chat rooms, real-time leaderboards, and markets tied to political events, global trends, and online culture.

The approach reflects a broader effort to connect crypto-native communities with global speculation trends while encouraging more collaborative participation in trading.

Backed by Crypto.com, Moonlander is seeking to expand activity in decentralized derivatives. Industry observers note that the platform’s mix of social tools and trading functions could attract new users, though its long-term impact on adoption and market structure remains to be seen.
