Mesh and Visa Partnership Expands Crypto Spending
Mesh and Visa have partnered to enable consumers to spend cryptocurrency and stablecoin balances at over 175 million merchant locations worldwide. The integration connects digital wallets to Visa's payment network, allowing customers to pay online or in stores without manually transferring funds. Mesh will handle payment funding and currency conversion, enabling merchants to accept payments through existing checkout systems. The system creates a Visa payment credential in the background, allowing users to pay at contactless terminals or shop online. Participating platforms can also offer crypto spending without managing their own card programs. The partnership follows Mesh’s September deal with Bybit Pay, which lets users fund payments through connected platforms using eligible assets held on exchanges.
