Visa, Mesh partner to enable crypto spending at 175M merchant locations

Visa is partnering with Mesh to connect crypto and stablecoin wallets directly to Visa's global payment network, enabling spending at roughly 175 million merchant locations without a separate card. The integration expands real-world utility for digital assets by letting users pay merchants directly from their wallets. Traders would view this as a mainstream adoption signal for crypto payments infrastructure, though it names no specific tokens and offers no volume or fee figures, limiting immediate price impact.
