Mesh Integrates Crypto Payments with Apple Pay, Enabling Stablecoin Settlements for Merchants

Mesh, a cryptocurrency payments infrastructure provider, announced a landmark integration with Apple Pay during Token2049 in Dubai. The partnership will allow consumers to pay with digital assets while merchants receive settlements in stablecoins—bridging the gap between mainstream retail and crypto commerce.

CEO Bam Azizi demonstrated the live functionality, showcasing how Mesh’s SmartFunding technology automatically converts volatile cryptocurrencies into stablecoin-denominated payouts. This eliminates technical barriers for merchants who lack native crypto payment systems.

The move signals growing institutional recognition of stablecoins as a settlement layer. By leveraging Apple’s 1.8 billion active device ecosystem, Mesh potentially unlocks crypto payments for millions of previously inaccessible retail touchpoints.
