Apple Pay Now Lets You Spend Crypto—Grandma’s Purse Will Never Be the Same!

What in the Whipple-Scrumptious World is Going On?

  • Mesh is unleashing Apple Pay for those daring enough to spend their crypto coins, and—abracadabra!—it transforms into stablecoins at checkout.
  • This magical crypto-to-stablecoin trickery lands sometime this quarter, freeing proper shopkeepers from wrestling with raw crypto themselves.
  • Stablecoins are suddenly as common as snozzberries at payment parties; everyone wants a bite.

Picture this: you stroll into a shop, clutching a phone full of crypto, heart pounding with the thrill and terror of digital riches… But alas! How on earth do you turn those magic beans into sweets, shoes, or a gobstopper? Enter Mesh, waving its wand, transforming your crypto dust into golden (well, stable) coins via Apple Pay—no need for the shopkeeper to even touch the stuff. Lucky them. 😏

This newfangled affair was revealed in the sandy, tech-giddy land of Dubai at Token2049. Mesh’s so-called SmartFunding tech does the heavy lifting, swapping your crypto for stablecoins quicker than Bruce Bogtrotter can scoff a cake. Shops just plug in and play, and—puff!—they’re accepting crypto, minus the headaches.

No need for retailers to build their own labyrinths of wires and snarly tech. They just flick the Apple Pay switch and let Mesh’s magic whoosh around in the background. It’s all set to land by the end of this quarter, or whenever the next fantastical chapter begins.

“We think as soon as paying by crypto is just as breezy as tossing fiat about, there’s nothing stopping the entire world’s shopping carts from careening onto the blockchain express!” boomed Bam Azizi, Mesh’s chief dreamer and CEO. Enthusiasm: utterly contagious.

These “blockchain rails” and stablecoins—those curious tokens cosplaying as normal currency—are now whizzing down the payment tracks faster than Willy Wonka’s elevator. They’re cheaper, nippier, and growing faster than Augustus Gloop’s waistline, with mammoth companies like Stripe and PayPal elbowing each other for a slice.

And if you’re wondering if Mesh can afford all this wizardry, they’ve already raised $82 million this year to strap their stablecoin-powered rocket on shops all over the globe. No golden ticket required. 🚀
