BYDFi Launches MoonX, Bridging CEXs and DEXs for Seamless On-Chain Trading
On May 13th, 2025, in Victoria, Seychelles, BYDFi, a prominent global crypto trading platform, introduced MoonX, a new on-chain trading engine. This launch signifies a strategic shift towards integrating centralized exchanges (CEXs) with decentralized exchanges (DEXs), aiming to bridge the gap between these two trading ecosystems.
MoonX is designed to serve as a gateway for CEX users to access the decentralized finance (DeFi) world, simplifying the process of engaging with on-chain markets. The platform addresses common barriers such as wallet setup, gas fees, and cross-chain operations, making DeFi more accessible to mainstream users. This move reflects the evolving industry landscape where CEXs and DEXs are increasingly seen as complementary rather than competitive systems.
MoonX offers a seamless user experience by retaining the security and familiarity of CEXs while unlocking the asset diversity and potential of DeFi. For instance, users can discover and trade meme coins directly from their BYDFi accounts without the need for additional wallets or gas fees. This streamlined process is achieved through MoonX's integration with multiple liquidity platforms, including Pump.fun, Raydium, and PancakeSwap, currently supporting Solana and BNB Chain with plans to expand to other major blockchains.
The platform also features built-in trading intelligence, including smart strategies and smart money copy trading, with millisecond-level execution optimized for high-frequency traders. Security is a top priority, with hybrid custody ensuring users do not manage private keys while retaining asset control. MoonX is co-built with Safeheron using MPC + TEE for institutional-grade protection and integrated with GoPlus for real-time contract risk scanning and alerts.
MoonX marks the beginning of BYDFi's dual-engine architecture, allowing users to manage both centralized and on-chain assets within a unified account framework. This integration combines liquidity, strategy tools, and advanced security, positioning MoonX as a foundation for trading early-stage and long-tail assets with optimized on-chain efficiency. Michael, Co-Founder of BYDFi, highlighted that MoonX aims to set a new standard for Web3 onboarding, merging the performance of CEXs with the freedom of DEXs to make smart on-chain trading accessible to all.
BYDFi, founded in 2020, serves over 1,000,000 users across 190+ countries. The platform offers a range of products, including 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, embodying the vision of BUIDL Your Dream Finance.
