PANews February 3 News, according to official sources, Gate’s venture capital arm Gate Ventures announced a strategic investment in the crypto payment network Mesh. Mesh is dedicated to building a unified payment connection layer that integrates wallets, exchanges, payment service providers, and fiat on/off ramps through a single API, reducing system complexity for crypto and fiat payments. Gate Ventures stated that stablecoins and native crypto payments are accelerating to become the next-generation financial infrastructure, but the industry remains highly fragmented. Mesh abstracts multiple payment channels into a unified payment layer, enabling seamless value transfer across ecosystems and regions, with the potential to become a key infrastructure. Mesh aggregates wallets, exchanges, banks, on/off ramps, and payment service providers, supporting crypto payments, fund deposits and withdrawals, and stablecoin settlements, while providing secure and scalable execution capabilities for merchants, PSPs, and AI-driven automated trading scenarios. Gate Ventures believes that Mesh, with its “connection-first” horizontal architecture, aims to serve as a core connector between traditional payment systems and on-chain economies.
