Bybit Pay Integrates Mesh Network for Direct Balance Payments

This integration signals a shift toward embedded crypto payments, where exchange balances function as a direct funding source across a broader network of platforms. The significance lies in removing friction—users no longer need to move assets between wallets or exchanges, which could increase the utility of exchange-held balances. For merchants, it lowers the barrier to accepting crypto by leveraging Mesh's existing infrastructure. The open question is whether this interoperability drives broader adoption of exchange-based payments or remains a niche convenience, and how it impacts the competitive dynamics among payment providers.
