BYDFi Launches MoonX, Bridging CEX and DEX Worlds
2min read BYDFi, a global crypto trading platform, has launched MoonX, an on-chain trading engine designed to bridge the gap between centralized exchanges (CEXs) and decentralized exchanges (DEXs). This new engine is positioned as a gateway for CEX users to access the decentralized finance (DeFi) world, simplifying the process and marking the beginning of BYDFi’s dual-engine strategy.
As meme coins, airdrops, and early-stage tokens gain traction, on-chain markets have become a high-growth arena for crypto users. However, challenges such as wallet setup, gas fees, and cross-chain operations remain significant hurdles for mainstream CEX users. Meanwhile, CEXs are increasingly limited in capturing early-stage or long-tail assets, indicating a shift in the industry where CEXs and DEXs are becoming complementary systems rather than separate entities. MoonX is BYDFi’s response to this evolution, aiming to integrate the best of both worlds.
MoonX is not just another exchange or wallet; it serves as a lightweight entry point to Web3 trading. It retains the security and user familiarity of CEXs while unlocking the asset diversity and potential of DeFi. For instance, a user discovering a trending meme coin on social media and wanting to copy a whale trade would traditionally need to switch wallets, acquire gas, copy contract addresses, and navigate multiple DEX interfaces. With MoonX, this process is simplified to a single tap using a BYDFi account, eliminating the need for wallet setup, gas fees, and chain switching.
MoonX offers a Web2-level user experience tailored for a Web3 world. It provides access to over 500,000 meme coins by aggregating liquidity from multiple platforms such as Pump.fun, Raydium, and PancakeSwap. Currently supporting Solana and BNB Chain, with plans to expand to additional major blockchains, MoonX integrates smart strategies and smart money copy trading, with millisecond-level execution optimized for high-frequency traders. The engine ensures security through hybrid custody, allowing users to retain asset control without managing private keys. Co-built with Safeheron using MPC + TEE for institutional-grade protection, and integrated with GoPlus for real-time contract risk scanning and alerts, MoonX prioritizes security.
MoonX is more than just a product update; it signifies the start of BYDFi’s CEX + DEX dual-engine architecture. Users can now manage both centralized and on-chain assets within a unified account framework. By combining liquidity, strategy tools, and advanced security, MoonX goes beyond trend-chasing, building a foundation for trading early-stage, long-tail assets with optimized on-chain efficiency. Michael, Co-Founder of BYDFi, emphasized that MoonX could shape a new standard: a scalable Web3 onboarding system that starts with a CEX front-end and runs on a DEX backend, designed for frictionless asset flow. He added that MoonX merges the best of both worlds—CEX performance and DEX freedom—making smart on-chain trading accessible to everyone, not just experts.
Founded in 2020, BYDFi serves over 1,000,000 users across 190+ countries. Its product lineup includes spot, derivatives, copy trading, and now on-chain trading via MoonX. In 2023, BYDFi was recognized by Forbes as one of the Top 10 Global Crypto Exchanges. In 2025, it partnered with Ledger to launch a co-branded hardware wallet, reinforcing user self-custody and asset security. BYDFi is committed to providing a world-class crypto trading experience for users, with the mission to BUIDL Your Dream Finance.
