Gate Ventures announces strategic investment in Mesh to accelerate the development of next-generation crypto-native payment infrastructure

Gate.com’s venture capital division, Gate Ventures, announced a strategic investment in the cryptocurrency payment network Mesh. As a leading cryptocurrency payment network, Mesh is dedicated to building a unified connectivity infrastructure that integrates wallets, exchanges, payment service providers, and fiat channels through a single integration method. This investment reflects Gate Ventures' judgment on industry trends. Currently, stablecoins and crypto-native payments are rapidly evolving into core financial infrastructure, but they remain highly fragmented across networks, platforms, and regions. Mesh effectively addresses this challenge by abstracting the underlying complexity into a unified payment layer, enabling seamless value transfer between the crypto and fiat ecosystems.

The Evolution Path of Crypto Payments: From Infrastructure to Real-World Applications

As digital assets transition from trading scenarios to commercial payments, cross-border settlements, and programmable cash flows, the true winners will be those who create infrastructure platforms that enable crypto payments to match the simplicity, compliance, and reliability of traditional payment systems without sacrificing global coverage and composability.
Gate Ventures believes that Mesh possesses a unique advantage to become a key payment infrastructure layer in this transformation process, with the potential to connect the highly fragmented crypto payment ecosystem into a developer-friendly unified network.

What Mesh is Building

Since its establishment in 2020, Mesh has been committed to creating a horizontally connected infrastructure layer that helps businesses access crypto payments, fund deposits and withdrawals, and stablecoin settlement capabilities through a unified API. Unlike closed networks, Mesh aggregates multi-party integration capabilities from a broader ecosystem, achieving interoperability among wallets, exchanges, banks, deposit and withdrawal channels, orchestration layers, and payment service providers.
The core capabilities of the Mesh platform include:

• Cross-ecosystem unified connectivity layer, covering wallets, exchanges, brokerage platforms, and banks
• Aggregation of multiple deposit and withdrawal channels, reducing the complexity of flows between fiat, crypto assets, and stablecoins
• Cross-rail payment orchestration layer, supporting payment coordination across regions, payment rails, and multiple trading counterparts
• Support for merchant and PSP access, promoting the large-scale implementation of crypto-native and stablecoin payments
• Provision of agent-ready infrastructure, offering secure execution capabilities for AI-driven automated trading and business scenarios

Through these capabilities, Mesh is gradually establishing its position as the core infrastructure layer for stablecoin payments and global value circulation.

Ecosystem Cooperation and Application Expansion

Mesh is continuously expanding its ecosystem cooperation landscape and has established partnerships with several leading wallets, exchanges, stablecoin issuers, fintech platforms, and payment service providers. Through these integrations, Mesh supports a diverse range of application scenarios covering consumer payments, B2B transfers, exchange deposits, and embedded crypto finance.

Mesh's Differentiated Advantages

Gate Ventures believes that Mesh has established a clear differentiated positioning in the crypto payment field by adopting a horizontal, connection-first product approach rather than building a closed payment network. Its platform aggregates and abstracts the complexity of various payment rails, enabling businesses to efficiently access crypto asset and stablecoin payment capabilities while ensuring reliability, scalability, and compliance.
By deeply embedding into existing user flows of wallets, exchanges, and payment platforms, Mesh positions itself as a core underlying infrastructure rather than an external overlay. Leveraging a founding team with extensive experience in payments, fintech, and crypto, Mesh is execution-oriented, building a deployable and scalable production-grade financial system.
This positioning allows Mesh to play a key connecting role between traditional payment systems and the ever-evolving on-chain economy.
