[Gate Ventures Announces Strategic Investment in Mesh, Expanding Crypto-Native Payment Infrastructure] Odaily Planet Daily News – According to official sources, Gate's venture capital arm, Gate Ventures, has announced a strategic investment in the crypto payment network Mesh. Mesh is dedicated to building a unified payment connectivity layer, enabling wallets, exchanges, payment service providers, and fiat on/off ramps to integrate through a single API, thereby reducing the system complexity of crypto and fiat payments. Gate Ventures stated that stablecoins and crypto-native payments are rapidly evolving into the next generation of financial infrastructure, but the current industry remains highly fragmented. Mesh abstracts multiple payment rails into a unified payment layer, enabling seamless value transfer across ecosystems and regions, with the potential to become critical infrastructure. Mesh aggregates wallets, exchanges, banks, fiat on/off ramps, and payment service providers, supporting crypto payments, fund transfers, and stablecoin settlements. It also provides secure and scalable execution capabilities for merchants, PSPs, and AI-driven automated trading scenarios. Gate Ventures believes that Mesh, with its "connectivity-first" horizontal architecture approach to crypto payment infrastructure, is poised to play a core bridging role between traditional payment systems and the on-chain economy.
