Fireblocks has denied an Axios report, first shared by The Block, that Visa was in late-stage talks to acquire the crypto custody and stablecoin infrastructure firm for roughly $2.5 billion. "This is news to us, and not true at present time," Fireblocks told The Block. Visa said it does not comment on rumors or speculation. The reported deal surfaced amid traditional financial institutions expanding their involvement in stablecoin infrastructure.
