Fresh Capital from Major Backers

Powering PayPal’s Crypto Push

Founded in 2020, Mesh helps businesses integrate crypto payments directly into their apps. Its “SmartFunding orchestration engine” solves the mismatch between the asset a customer wants to pay with and the asset a merchant wants to receive, enabling instant settlement in stablecoins or fiat.

Mesh’s infrastructure is integrated with Coinbase, Binance, ByBit, and OKX, reaching hundreds of millions of users worldwide.

Plans for Expansion

The company plans to use the new funds to enhance product development, expand its API offerings, and support more crypto and payments platforms. CEO Bam Azizi said the goal is to create a truly global payments network, similar in impact to Visa or Mastercard.
