Mesh integrates Apple Pay to allow purchases with cryptocurrencies and payments in stablecoins
The feature aims to close the "last mile" gap that has stalled the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies in payments, said co-founder and CEO Bam Azizi.
What you need to know:
Mesh will integrate Apple Pay into its platform, allowing the conversion of crypto into stablecoins at the time of payment.
The feature, expected to launch at the end of this quarter, will enable merchants to accept payments in crypto without having to handle crypto directly.
Stablecoins are becoming a key tool for payments, facilitating the adoption of crypto in the real world.
The crypto payment startup Mesh plans to implement support for Apple Pay in transactions with digital assets, allowing buyers to pay with crypto while merchants receive settlements in stable coins.
The feature, presented during Token2049 in Dubai, converts crypto into stablecoins at the time of payment using Mesh's patented SmartFunding technology. The system prevents merchants from having to directly manage crypto assets, offering what the company describes as a “plug-and-play” payment option through the Apple Pay interface.
With this solution, both physical stores and online merchants will be able to accept crypto payments without the need to develop additional infrastructure. Mesh expects to launch the feature towards the end of the second quarter of 2025.
