Mesta

When we started Mesta, the vision was clear: reimagine cross-border payments so enterprises don’t have to choose between speed, cost, and compliance. Today, I’m proud to share that we’ve raised a $5.5M seed round – led by Village Global, with participation from Circle Ventures, Paxos, Western Technology Investment (WTI), Draft Ventures, Tomahawk VC, Rally Cap VC, and Vera Equity. Our earliest supporters include Garuda Ventures, Canonical Crypto, Everywhere Ventures, and Inventum Ventures. In less than a year since launch, Mesta, the Global Fiat + Stablecoin Payment Network, has powered $140M+ in Total Payment Volume, and currently executing an average of $3M per day, proving the strength of our rails and the trust of our early customers. And what a fortuitous moment in time. A year ago, at Token2049, Mesta was just stepping out of stealth – with vision, ambition, and a network full of promise. Fast forward to today: we stand in the same place, but with a product that’s proven, trusted, and built for scale. Reliability isn’t a claim anymore; it’s our reality. And this milestone is only the beginning. Because lives change when money moves around the world – from payrolls to employees and freelancers that change the fortunes of families, to businesses scaling globally, to fintechs building new products on our rails. That’s the mission we wake up to every day. Grateful to our investors, customers, and team for believing in this journey. The work of rewiring global payments is only just beginning. https://lnkd.in/gkkbyYKf #SeedFunding #GlobalPayments #Mesta #FiatandStablecoins #FintechInnovation Garuda Ventures Village Global Canonical Western Technology Investment Everywhere Ventures Rally Cap VC Tomahawk.VC Inventum Ventures Vera Equity Draft Ventures Circle Paxos

$100M TPV in 11 Months since launch– and We’re Just Getting Started! When we launched the Mesta Payment Network less than a year ago, our mission was simple but bold – redefine how businesses move money globally using Stablecoin + Fiat Payment rails. Today, I’m thrilled to share that we have crossed $100 Million in Total Payment Volume (TPV) in just 11 months! This milestone isn’t just about numbers, it’s a reflection of: - The trust our customers place in us - The commitment of our team to deliver enterprise-grade payments with unmatched speed, cost efficiency, and compliance. We recently executed a single $1.75M transaction in just 30 minutes. - The power of innovation in creating real-world impact across bill payments, supply chain payments, payroll, on/off ramps, and more - A payment network built for flexibility – powering multiple use cases across 40+ currencies, supporting stablecoins such as USDC and USDT, and running seamlessly on Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and TRON And we’re not slowing down; in fact, we’ve grown faster in the last 2 months than in our first nine. To everyone who’s been part of this journey – customers, investors, partners, and the incredible Mesta team – thank you for believing in our vision. The next $100M is coming even faster. #GlobalPayments #Fintech #Stablecoinsandfiat #CrossBorderPayments #Mesta #Innovation #Growth

Had an energizing chat with Nik on This Week in Fintech - diving deep into all things Stablecoins, the story of Mesta, and how we’re rewiring the future of cross-border payments. It was a great opportunity to share why fintech leaders across the globe are joining the fast increasing family of Mesta customers.

It was a privilege to share Mesta's journey with TheStreet in a recent feature. In that conversation, I reflected on the real-world relevance of stablecoins—not as hype tools, but as infrastructure rails for a more inclusive, efficient payment future. Mesta, the global FIAT + Stablecoin Payment Network, is not just building a faster and more compliant way to move money—we’re building trust.  #Stablecoinsandfiat #Fintech #Payments #GlobalMoneyMovement #crossborderpayments #futureofpayments #mestapaymentnetwork https://lnkd.in/gd5Cf_nm

Consensus Toronto was buzzing - and not just with crypto chatter. Global Crypto Platforms are evolving into full-stack financial platforms, enabling individuals and businesses to store, move, and pay in multiple currencies – both fiat and crypto. And at the center of this transformation? Stablecoins. No longer speculative assets – they’re becoming the default medium for global payments. Over the past few days, the Mesta team connected with visionary builders reshaping the financial stack. What stood out is how deeply our API-first payment network resonates — with platforms looking to offer borderless, instant, compliant payments across currencies and continents. As global platforms look to serve both crypto-native users and traditional businesses, one capability stood out in our conversations: The flexibility of the Mesta Payment Network — to convert fiat to stablecoins, stablecoins to fiat, or even fiat to fiat — all through a single integration. The future of payments isn’t coming. It’s here. We are the Global Fiat + Stablecoin Payment Network. And we’re building it, one integration at a time. #Consensus2025 #Stablecoinsandfiat #Fintech #Payments #GlobalMoneyMovement #crossborderpayments #futureofpayments
