BlockBeats News, January 21, according to CoinDesk, after the acquisition negotiations of the crypto company Zerohash fell through, Mastercard is now considering an investment in Zerohash.

BlockBeats previously reported that on October 30, 2025, Mastercard was in talks to acquire crypto infrastructure startup Zerohash for $15 billion to $20 billion. If the deal goes through, it will be one of its largest moves in the stablecoin field.

Zerohash, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Chicago, has business operations covering stablecoins and crypto trading infrastructure, providing technical services, including asset tokenization APIs, to institutional clients.

In September of this year, Zerohash announced a $1 billion valuation after completing a $104 million Series D funding round, led by Interactive Brokers, with participation from Morgan Stanley, SoFi, Apollo, among others.
