Mesh on CNBC, and the $100T case for tokenization

April 9, 2026

What's new at Mesh

We were on CNBC, we co-hosted Tokenized Live NYC (a live podcast taping) with Visa, we debuted a new podcast with Stablecon called "CEO Beat", we joined the Canton Network as a Super Validator, we announced a partnership with stablecoin clearinghouse Better Money, and we showed up on stage at five events around the world.

Here's the full picture:

Here are three quotes from Bam that stood out:

On scale

"My prediction is the crypto market cap will hit $100T in the next 5-10 years, not because the Bitcoin price is going up, but because we are bringing all the real-world assets on-chain."

On fragmentation

"Every country is going to issue its own stablecoin. It would be very, very challenging for end users to navigate this maze."

On UX friction

"Everyone wants the benefit of blockchain: faster, cheaper, better. But they don't want to go through this maze. They just simply want to swipe their card and pay for things and get the benefit of it."

From NYC to SF to CDMX, we were in the room driving key conversations across crypto and payments.
