Mesh has appointed Jason Ne Win as its first CEO for the Asia-Pacific region. This move shows the company’s strong plan to expand in APAC, following its recent $75 million funding round and achieving a $1 billion valuation.
In his new role, Ne Win will lead Mesh’s growth in the region. He will focus on building local payment systems and partnering with major digital wallets and financial institutions.
As crypto moves from just trading to real-world use, APAC has become an important market. According to McKinsey, stablecoin payments from Asia make up about $245 billion, which is around 60% of the global total.
“The APAC region is home to an incredibly tech-savvy population and a massive stablecoin market,” said Bam Azizi, Co-founder and CEO of Mesh. “Asia is not just a market for us; it is a frontier of the tokenized economy. Jason’s relationships and deep expertise in navigating APAC will position Mesh strongly as we enter this next phase of growth and position us to lead the way in seamless and compliant crypto payments across the region.”
“APAC is home, and joining Mesh feels like the right move at the right moment,” said Jason Ne Win. “The infrastructure for crypto payments across the region is still being written, and Mesh has the product, the team, and the backing to define it. I’m excited to build and scale something that genuinely works for businesses and consumers across the region, not just in the major markets.”
Mesh has been growing quickly over the past year. It has expanded into new regions like Latin America and Europe, helping improve its products and build a stronger global network.
The company’s technology is used by major platforms such as PayPal, MetaMask, Revolut, and Shift4, reaching more than 900 million users around the world.
Mesh was founded in 2020 and is building a global crypto payments network. It connects different platforms like exchanges, wallets, and financial services to make digital payments and conversions easier.
By bringing all these platforms together in one network, Mesh is creating a more open, connected, and secure system for digital finance.
