Gate Ventures, the venture capital arm of Gate.com, today announced a strategic investment in Mesh, a leading crypto payments network building a connected infrastructure that unifies wallets, exchanges, payment service providers, and fiat rails into a single integration.
This investment reflects Gate Ventures’ belief that stablecoins and crypto-native payments are rapidly becoming core financial infrastructure, but are still constrained by fragmentation across networks, platforms, and geographies. Mesh addresses this challenge by abstracting complexity into a unified payments layer and enabling seamless value transfer between crypto and fiat ecosystems.
As digital assets evolve beyond transactions to commerce, cross-border payments, and programmable financial flows, the winners will be those platforms that make crypto payments as simple, compliant, and reliable as traditional payment systems, without sacrificing global reach or configurability.
Gate Ventures believes Mesh is uniquely positioned to serve as the underlying payments layer for this transition, connecting the fragmented cryptocurrency payments landscape into a single, developer-friendly network.
Founded in 2020, Mesh is building a horizontal connectivity layer that allows businesses to integrate cryptocurrency payments, deposits, withdrawals, and stablecoin payments through a single API. Rather than operating as a closed network, Mesh aggregates integration across a broader ecosystem, creating interoperability between wallets, exchanges, banks, on/off ramps, orchestration layers, and payment service providers.
Mesh’s platform supports:
Unified connectivity across wallets, exchanges, brokerages, and banks On/off ramp aggregation to simplify the flow of fiat, crypto, and stablecoins Payment orchestration across geographies, rail, and counterparties Merchant and PSP integration to enable crypto-native and stablecoin payments Agent-enabled infrastructure to enable secure transaction execution for emerging AI-driven commerce use cases
Together, these capabilities position Mesh as a core infrastructure layer for stablecoin payments and global value movement.
Mesh works with major wallets, exchanges, stablecoin issuers, fintech platforms, and payment service providers to establish partnerships across the cryptocurrency and payments ecosystem. These integrations enable Mesh to address a wide range of use cases spanning consumer payments, B2B money transfers, exchange funding, and embedded crypto finance.
Gate Ventures believes Mesh has carved out a differentiated position in the world of cryptocurrency payments by taking a horizontal, connection-first approach, rather than operating as a siled payments network. Its platform is designed to aggregate and abstract complexity across multiple payment rails, allowing businesses to integrate cryptocurrency and stablecoin payments with reliability, scalability, and compliance in mind.
Mesh integrates directly into existing user flows across wallets, exchanges, and payment platforms, establishing itself as core infrastructure rather than an overlay. This approach is powered by a founding team with deep experience across payments, fintech, and crypto infrastructure, bringing an execution-led mindset to building production-grade financial systems.
This positioning allows Mesh to act as the connective tissue between traditional payments and the emerging chain economy.
