Mesh and @Visa are partnering to make crypto and stablecoin balances spendable anywhere Visa is accepted: 175M+ merchant locations, straight from the wallet apps people already use.
No separate card. No cash-out. Nothing for merchants to change.

Many of you have asked whether the recent Binance hack impacted Mesh: The short answer is no.
Mesh doesn't hold or take custody of users' or customers' assets. Our systems were not affected, and our network continues to operate normally.
But a $6.3 billion hack is serious, and it should be treated that way.
Here's what the headlines missed.
Stablecoin issuers moved quickly to freeze billions in compromised assets. Exchanges blocked affected wallets. Binance committed to covering customer losses. Markets reacted, but the industry continued operating.
And let's put this in perspective.
Traditional finance has faced massive scandals too. Danske Bank's money-laundering scandal involved approximately €200 billion in transactions over several years, a significant portion of which were suspected to be illicit. The bank ultimately pleaded guilty to defrauding U.S. banks.
These are different types of incidents, and suspicious transaction volumes aren't the same as stolen funds.
But the broader lesson is the same: no financial system is immune to fraud, attacks, or failures.
What matters is how quickly the industry responds, how effectively it protects customers, and what it learns.
The future of finance won't be defined by the absence of incidents. It will be defined by our ability to build systems that are more secure, transparent, interconnected, and resilient.
This incident exposed real vulnerabilities. It also demonstrated how quickly an interconnected ecosystem can mobilize to contain damage.
That's progress. And there's still a lot of work ahead.
It used to cost $20 to place a stock trade. Then programmatic trading made it nearly free.
@PeteCooling thinks payments are next: high-frequency payments, driven by agents.

Well said, @brian_armstrong and @cz_binance . Moments like this also remind us that the industry needs a better, safer way to move crypto between platforms.
@binance and @coinbase are industry leaders, and both are investors in @meshpay .
Both platforms embrace open banking APIs to make fiat deposits seamless. Yet when it comes to crypto, exchanges are still hesitant to enable secure, open banking type experience for deposits from one another.
Why? Because exchanges don’t want to lose deposits to competitors so they make the user experience as sub-optimal as possible for the end users. But making withdrawals harder won’t stop users from moving their assets. It only makes the process less secure and opens the door to attacks like this.
With 300+ integrations, @meshpay already has the infrastructure to make crypto transfers safer, simpler, and more seamless, reducing reliance on manual wallet addresses and potentially preventing certain types of transfer-related attacks.
I’d love to see Binance and Coinbase lead the way in building a safer, open crypto deposit standard for the entire industry.
Mesh is willing to provide this infrastructure at zero cost.
Security shouldn’t be a competitive advantage. It should be an industry standard.
Our team is doing everything we can to support in the current situation, including blocking sends to compromised wallets. We've also reached out to Binance to offer our help.
Moments like this call for the industry to work together. Openly sharing any useful information and helping to protect customers should come first, regardless of which platform they use. If you can do anything to help, please do!
Crypto has been through many tough times, and has always come out stronger on the other side. This won’t be any different.

Incredibly bullish on stablecoins.
~$5T of global commerce could be driven by agents by 2030.
Stablecoins are the best payment method for agentic finance (AiFi) because agents need instant, global, real time settlement, including for small amounts.
We've built the infrastructure to support this at: coinbase.com/developer-platf…

What happens to payments when AI agents become the ones making them?
“Agents are looking for low friction ways to accomplish tasks.”
@TurnkeyHQ Co-Founder and CEO @sadbryce sees crypto rails becoming a natural fit for agents that need to transact as they complete tasks.
Speaking with @bamazizimesh on Stable Pulse: CEO Beat, he shares his vision for money moving more freely across consumer payments, B2B transactions, and digital services.

Crypto could be a $100 trillion market within a decade as real-world assets move onchain. The next frontier is agentic commerce.
Our CEO @bamazizimesh tells @Forbes why AI agents need blockchain to transact.

Mesh has joined @trmlabs’ Beacon Network, the real-time crypto crime response network 🔒
When investigators flag illicit funds, Beacon traces them onchain and alerts members the moment the funds land. That gives members time to act before the money moves.
It’s a live intelligence layer on top of the screening already built into Mesh.

“Starting a company teaches you what you need to know when you need to know it.”
@TurnkeyHQ Co-Founder and CEO @sadbryce had never sold before starting a business. Then came the sales conversations, a growing team, and the uncomfortable situations that forced him to learn.
On a new episode of Stable Pulse: CEO Beat, he joins @bamazizimesh to discuss building Turnkey, lessons from Coinbase Custody, and the future of crypto custody, stablecoin payments, and wallets for AI agents.
