Zerohash in talks to raise 250 million dollars at a 1.5 billion dollar valuation

Blockchain infrastructure company Zerohash is reportedly in discussions to raise 250 million dollars in new funding at a valuation of 1.5 billion dollars. The company has not yet made any public comment on the matter.

Zerohash, founded in 2017 and based in Chicago, provides cryptocurrency-related APIs, developer tools, stablecoin infrastructure, custody solutions, trading and settlement services, and compliance tools mainly for banks, fintech companies, brokerages, and payment platforms.

Last year the company raised 104 million dollars in a funding round that valued it at 1 billion dollars. That round was led by Interactive Brokers and included participation from Morgan Stanley, SoFi, Apollo Global Management and others. With the new round under discussion, the valuation would increase by 50 percent compared to the previous one.

Recently Zerohash decided to remain independent after ending talks with Mastercard. Earlier reports mentioned that Mastercard had considered acquiring the company for a valuation between 1.5 billion and 2 billion dollars, but those discussions did not lead to a deal.

The potential new funding comes at a time when institutional interest in cryptocurrency and stablecoins continues to grow. Zerohash focuses on helping traditional finance companies integrate digital assets without building the entire infrastructure themselves. Its platform supports on-ramp and off-ramp services, regulatory compliance, and enterprise-grade blockchain connectivity.

If the 250 million dollar raise is completed, Zerohash would strengthen its position as one of the main providers of business-to-business crypto infrastructure. The company has raised about 275 million dollars in total funding so far since it was founded.

No official statement has come from Zerohash regarding the current funding talks.#ContentMiningRevampPublicBeta
