Mesh Acquires Bluvo to Accelerate Global Payment Network

ChainCatcher report: On October 13, the crypto payment platform Mesh announced the acquisition of exchange connectivity technology developer Bluvo to accelerate the construction of its global payment network. Bluvo’s co-founders, Florian Sabani and Luca Dalla Chiara, have joined Mesh as Senior Staff Software Engineer and Head of Exchange Partnerships, respectively. The acquisition price and transaction terms were not disclosed. Mesh CEO and co-founder Bam Azizi stated that the next stage of finance should enable users’ funds to flow on demand, regardless of the starting chain, exchange, wallet, or currency. Mesh has spent six years building this network and aims to become the standard in this space. He believes Sabani and Dalla Chiara share the same vision, which is why they chose to build together rather than in parallel. Dalla Chiara noted that for years they have addressed connectivity challenges from the exchange side, and the opportunity is greater than any single integration—Mesh already has scalable reach, and the merger will enable faster progress. Sabani added that with over 300 integrations, the challenge is not achieving a single connection, but ensuring reliability every time; the goal is higher availability and lower complexity. Founded in 2020, Mesh claims to have connected over 300 exchanges and wallets through a single integration.
