US EditionMesh Payments Network Raises $75 Million, Acquires Unicorn Status
Mesh's $75 million funding led by Dragonfly supports expansion into Latin America, Asia, and Europe, reaching 900 million users and advancing global crypto payment adoption.
- On Jan. 27, 2026, Mesh raised $75 million in a Series C led by Dragonfly Capital, valuing the crypto payments infrastructure provider at $1 billion.

- The funding accelerates expansion into Latin America, Asia and Europe, backs India growth citing $125B+ remittances, and shows global institutions adopting blockchain settlement, Mesh said.
- With stablecoins at a $300B market cap and over $27T in annual volume, Mesh says a portion of its $75M round was settled using stablecoins to showcase real-world readiness.
