A growing number of traditional financial institutions are increasingly interested in digital assets, particularly stablecoins. Mastercard’s recent reported interest in acquiring zerohash for up to $2 billion highlights this trend. Large players view crypto infrastructure as a strategic priority in the market and have been actively acquiring companies like PayPal (Curv) and Robinhood (Bitstamp). 2023 has seen several mergers and acquisitions, signaling a shift towards institutionalization of cryptocurrency payments. This includes Transacta’s entry into the US market through a partnership with zerohash, an infrastructure provider known for its regulatory support in international markets. This partnership provides Transacta with access to a network that already boasts clients such as Morgan Stanley, Stripe, and Interactive Brokers. Transacta leverages its expertise in luxury commerce—areas characterized by high-value, cross-border payments – including private aviation, yachting, fine art, luxury retail, and international real estate. This experience will be invaluable as Transacta seeks to navigate the complex landscape of US financial regulations.
