Mesh Raises $130M to Scale Crypto Payments — A Potential Catalyst for Merchant Adoption

I see Mesh’s $130M+ funding as a meaningful vote of confidence in crypto payment infrastructure — the capital should let the team accelerate product development, expand merchant integrations, and shore up liquidity and settlement rails.

This could lower friction for merchants and consumers if Mesh executes, making on‑chain or tokenized payments more practical at scale. That said, execution risk, competitive incumbents, and evolving regulation could slow adoption.

I remain cautiously optimistic: the round improves Mesh’s runway and credibility, but I want to watch concrete merchant wins, live integrations, and regulatory clarity before getting more bullish.
