Zerohash Seeks $250M Funding at $1.5B Valuation After Rejecting Mastercard Deal

Fintech infrastructure provider Zerohash is reportedly in advanced discussions to secure $250 million in a new funding round. This investment would value the cryptocurrency and digital assets settlement platform at approximately $1.5 billion. The move comes after Zerohash decided to walk away from a potential acquisition by global payments giant Mastercard. The company specializes in backend technology that enables traditional financial institutions and fintech firms to offer crypto trading and services. This significant capital raise aims to accelerate Zerohash's expansion and product development in the growing digital asset market, signaling strong investor confidence in its independent growth trajectory over a strategic buyout.
