- Binance is reportedly leading a $2B Mesh round, valuing the payments infrastructure at $2 billion. Finally, someone realizes that stablecoins are useless if they can’t actually buy coffee. The race isn’t about who prints the most digital dollars; it’s about who controls the rails that move them from your exchange account to a merchant’s register. Mesh bridges that gap, connecting 300+ wallets and exchanges so you don’t have to manually bridge assets like a peasant. Binance Pay already settles 98% of B2C in stablecoins, so this is just strategic consolidation. Stop moonboying over token launches and pay attention to the plumbing. If you aren’t invested in the pipes, you’re just leaking value. Where's my cut?
