🚀 Mastercard in Talks to Acquire Crypto Startup Zerohash for Up to $2 Billion

According to BlockBeats, Mastercard is negotiating a potential acquisition of the crypto infrastructure startup Zerohash for an estimated $1.5 billion to $2 billion. If finalized, this acquisition would mark one of Mastercard's most significant investments in the stablecoin sector.

Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Chicago, Zerohash specializes in stablecoin and crypto trading infrastructure. The company provides technical services, including asset tokenization APIs, to institutional clients.

In September, Zerohash completed a Series D funding round, raising $104 million at a valuation of $1 billion. The round was led by Interactive Brokers, with participation from Morgan Stanley, SoFi, and Apollo.

🚀 High-Income U.S. Investors Shift Due to Lack of Crypto Options

According to BlockBeats, a survey conducted by crypto infrastructure company Zerohash reveals that 35% of high-income U.S. investors aged 18-40 have switched financial institutions because their advisors do not offer cryptocurrency assets. Many of these investors have transferred amounts ranging from $250,000 to $1 million. Among those earning over $500,000, the proportion rises to half.

Additionally, 84% of respondents plan to increase their cryptocurrency holdings next year, and 92% desire a broader selection of tokens. Zerohash emphasizes that cryptocurrency has become a standard component of modern asset allocation, warning that advisors who fail to provide compliant and insured crypto services risk losing clients.
