Affluent investors have made up their minds about crypto. HSBC's Global Affluent Investor Snapshot 2026 surveyed nearly 10,000 affluent and HNW investors across 10 markets and found that 85% plan to maintain or increase their crypto allocation this year. Only gold ranks higher among planned increases. Ahead of equities. Ahead of bonds. And Gen Z, the next generation of private banking clients, holds 3x the crypto allocation of Baby Boomers. Here's the problem for banks and wealth platforms: those allocations mostly live outside the banking relationship, on exchanges and in self-custody wallets the bank can't see, verify, or accept. That's a growing share of a client's financial life that their primary institution can't service. Every deposit, rebalance, and transfer happens somewhere else. Regulated banks are starting to close the gap. AMINA Bank uses Mesh so clients can connect external wallets and exchanges — ownership verified at the point of transfer, deposits completed inside the bank's own experience, custody arrangements intact. The connectivity layer exists; most institutions just haven't adopted it yet. The institutions that win the next generation of affluent clients will be the ones that can service the entire portfolio.

We're hiring a Director of Sales for the EU at Mesh, in one of the hottest areas in finance right now; stable coins! At Mesh we are building the future of finance: the network that lets people pay with almost any crypto asset while merchants settle in stablecoins or local currency. It sits behind one of the hottest shifts in finance right now, and PayPal, MetaMask, Coinbase and Revolut already build on it. Since joining Mesh, I have become even more enthusiastic about stable coins and Mesh: the technology, the product, the organization, the partnerships. We've now raised over $200 million and are further expanding globally, which also means the EU. This role works closely with me to lead that growth across Europe and beyond, with real ownership, real pipeline, and a real say in how we scale. If you know enterprise sales and find payments and stablecoins exciting, take a look: https://lnkd.in/e2kftwtU On a separate note: I truly appreciate the amazing work external recruiters do, but at Mesh we're fortunate to have a brilliant in-house team handling our hiring, so this one is covered. Not in sales? We have 20+ other roles open worldwide: https://lnkd.in/eCVi8GMu

Prediction markets sell one thing: a price that knows something. But a price can only learn from trades that actually happen. Every user who shows up with a conviction and stalls at the deposit screen is information the market never gets. That's what any-to-any orchestration actually does. SmartFunding™ finds a path from whatever a user holds — any asset, any chain, any account — to a cleared deposit. Not just conversion. A smarter market. This week's Mesh Weekly: what a Nobel laureate's auction theory says about why the easiest market to enter wins.👇

Last month we announced our integration with Tools for Humanity. It's now live: World App users can fund their wallets directly from hundreds of supported exchanges and wallets, with assets settling on World Chain. World App brings together global financial access and private proof of human — spanning 160 countries, with more than 18 million people verified through World ID. Mesh connects that ecosystem to where assets actually live today, so funding a wallet takes seconds. Try it in World App → https://lnkd.in/grM5Za6j

We're formalizing our partnership with Bitget Wallet — one of the world's leading self-custodial wallets. Self-custody solved holding. The harder problem is what comes after: actually using those assets. Put simply, crypto you hold should be crypto you can use. That's the problem we're solving together. Bitget Wallet is part of Mesh's catalog of hundreds of connected exchanges, wallets, and payment providers. So when a Bitget Wallet holder goes to connect an account on any Mesh-powered platform, their wallet is right there — link it in a few taps, then fund the account or make a purchase. No copied addresses. No switching apps. → More to come. https://lnkd.in/gVyG9nUC
