Grade Bbearish AI signal$V$COIN
Fireblocks has denied reports that it is in acquisition talks with Visa, disputing claims of a potential $2.5 billion deal.
Axios reported late-stage discussions based on unidentified sources, while Fireblocks said the acquisition rumors were not true at present; Coinbase was also reportedly considered a potential buyer.
The denial could dampen near-term expectations for a deal, while continued sale rumors may keep attention on potential consolidation in crypto custody.
