I don’t understand. When I borrow against my BTC, I get dollars transferred into my traditional bank then I use the USD to buy whatever, say a car. That couldn’t happen with Mezo, right?
Not quite the same experience right now, but we hope to get there soon :)
When you borrow MUSD, you can then swap that into USDC/USDT, which are highly liquid stablecoins you can easily offramp to your bank or spend directly.
Once MUSD gets more integrations with banking partners, the experience of going from BTC -> MUSD -> spending in the real world will be much simpler
From Grok: "Based on available information, Wells Fargo does not accept USD Coin (USDC) or Tether (USDT) directly for deposit into a checking account. These are stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency pegged to the U.S. dollar, and traditional banks like Wells Fargo are not equipped to process cryptocurrency deposits in their raw form.” Do you know of a US bank that accepts stablecoin deposits into traditional checking accounts? If so, someone could use your company to borrow against their BTC when they want to spend USD. Otherwise, I’m thinking someone could use your service to leverage their BTC in order to buy more BTC.

right, banks won’t take USDT or USDC directly, but it’s very simple to turn those stablecoins into dollars.
You can send USDC to Kraken, Gemini, or Coinbase, swap it to USD, and move it to your bank account.. pretty seamlessly.
So instead of a bank wiring you dollars for a car, here’s how it works with Mezo:
- Lock BTC → Borrow MUSD
- Swap to USDC (onchain, instantly)
- Offramp via your chosen platform (Kraken, etc.) → USD in your bank
- Buy car
The flow is fast, flexible, doesn't require anyone’s permission to initiate, and you get Mezo's low, fixed interest rate
Since you mentioned WF, i figured you were located in the US.
Many businesses around the world will accept USDT payments directly, specifically in Latin America, where stablecoins are more ubiquitous.
Absolutely love the model but MUSD is useless I need it in USDC or Tether to be able to use it and exchange for Fiat and get my house deposit
Absolutely. You can swap your MUSD into USDT or USDC in the Mezo app today.
Next week, bridging will be live so you can then take your USDC/USDT however you prefer to offramp.
Dead on
Solid.
They simple LOVE inflation model
Is 1 MUSD worth 1 USDT
How is this different from what People’s Reserve is doing?
