Zerohash Gets EU Approval
Zerohash has earned a MiCA license from the Dutch AFM. This makes it one of the first stablecoin infrastructure providers approved across the EU.
The license lets Zerohash provide crypto services to banks, fintech firms, and payment platforms in 30 EEA countries. It’s now a registered Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP).
Boosting Institutional Appeal
The license strengthens Zerohash’s role in tokenized assets, stablecoins, and blockchain finance. Its European arm is now positioned as a backbone for institutional crypto activity.
Founded in 2017, Zerohash works with Morgan Stanley, Franklin Templeton, and Stripe.
Mastercard Acquisition Rumors
Reports say Mastercard is in talks to acquire Zerohash for $1.5–2B. This follows Mastercard’s push into stablecoin settlements across EEMEA, enabling USDC and Euro Coin transactions.
Global Stablecoin Pilots
Kazakhstan’s central bank also teamed with Mastercard and Solana to pilot a tenge-backed stablecoin, issued by Intebix Crypto Exchange and Eurasian Bank.
(Footing: MiCA = EU regulation for crypto-assets; CASP = a licensed provider of crypto services.)
