Why Visa\'s stablecoin strategy draws more attention than Mastercard\'s
Visa and Mastercard are both investing aggressively in stablecoins as a new growth engine, but their approaches differ sharply, fintech and payments expert Tom Noyes said. Mastercard is pursuing a centralised ownership model through acquisitions such as BVNK, while Visa is expanding an ecosystem via partners and stablecoin-linked card programmes. Noyes said Visa\'s distributed model could be more advantageous by generating more value-added services revenue per unit of stablecoin volume.

Zerohash seeks new funding at higher valuation after Mastercard investment collapses
Mastercard has withdrawn plans to invest in cryptocurrency infrastructure company Zerohash. A recent CoinDesk report said Mastercard’s $1.8 billion acquisition of UK stablecoin infrastructure company BVNK appeared to have influenced the decision. Mastercard had been considering a strategic investment even after Zerohash signaled it would go its own way in January. Zerohash is now pushing a new funding round at a higher valuation than before.
