Crypto infrastructure firm MoonPay has doubled down on services targeting digital experience for brands. According to an announcement on May 28, the company is launching a platform dedicated to Web3 tools for digital engagement.&nbsp;
The new platform integrates pre-existing services offered by MoonPay with new tools, including crypto payments, authentication, identity verification, ticketing, tokenization and nonfungible tokens (NFT) minting.
Brands are leveraging Web3 solutions for consumer engagement by creating more interactive and personalized experiences. For instance, luxury brands like Louis Vuitton have <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/louis-vuitton-embraces-web3-launches-its-iconic-trunk-as-a-digital-collectible" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">integrated digital collectibles</a> with physical products.

“Digital experiences are the future of consumer engagement,” said MoonPay co-founder and CEO Ivan Soto-Wright, commenting on the company’s focus on onboarding brands to Web3. “Brands need safety and simplicity to confidently bring new commerce opportunities to market.”
According to Markets and Markets, the customer loyalty and engagement market is <a href="https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/loyalty-management-market-172873907.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">estimated</a> to reach a value of $25.4 billion by 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.3% over the period. The market research firm said the rise of subscription-based business models across various industries has led to the adoption of loyalty programs targeting recurring revenue streams.<iframe width="100%" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q9z0PhIk1p4" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen data-ct-non-breakable="true"></iframe>
