Mastercard is reportedly in advanced talks to acquire crypto-infrastructure provider ZeroHash for between $1.5 billion and $2 billion, marking a major step toward deeper integration with blockchain-based finance. The deal would give Mastercard access to ZeroHash’s API-driven capabilities for crypto trading, custody, and stablecoin settlements, positioning it at the core of digital asset infrastructure rather than just card payments. While potentially transformative, the agreement remains unfinalized and faces regulatory and integration hurdles before completion.
