Fireblocks disputed an Axios report that Visa was discussing a $2.5 billion acquisition, calling it "news to us" and "not true at present time." Visa declined to comment on the rumors or speculation.
The denial leaves no confirmed transaction, disclosed terms or timeline. For investors, it removes the reported $2.5 billion takeover from near-term deal expectations, though Fireblocks' wording addresses the present rather than any earlier contact.
