“Fireblocks Denies $2.5B Visa Acquisition Talks, Says Report Not True” — what this page in the network covers. Digital asset infrastructure provider Fireblocks has pushed back on a report claiming Visa is in talks to acquire the company for $2.5 billion. In a statement to Cointelegraph, Fireblocks said the report is 'not true at present time,' while Visa declined to comment on the matter. The denial comes amid growing interest from traditional financial giants in blockchain and crypto infrastructure. Fireblocks provides secure custody and transfer technology for digital assets, serving over 1,800 institutions including banks, exchanges, and hedge funds.
A potential acquisition by Visa would have signaled a major expansion of the payments giant into crypto infrastructure. However, Fireblocks' response suggests no deal is imminent. The company has raised over $1 billion in funding to date and was valued at $8 billion in a 2022 funding round. The full version stays on the original page, which this listing opens directly.
