Yes, multiple news aggregators report Visa is in talks to acquire Fireblocks for around $2.5B. AggrNews cited Bloomberg with that figure at 12:22 UTC on Oct. 22, 2026.

The origin appears to be Axios reporting by Lucinda Shen, described as late stage talks to buy stablecoin custody provider Fireblocks for ~$2.5B, its first acquisition in the stablecoin sector, per Techmeme. WuBlockchain also summarized the Axios report on the same terms.

Telegram channels repeated the same claim within minutes, some citing Bloomberg and some citing Axios and velo.xyz, without adding confirmation.

Neither Visa nor Fireblocks has posted confirmation on X. Visa's own account last posted June 30 about stablecoins and Open USD, and Fireblocks last posted Oct. 21 from Money20/20, with no deal comment.

So: talks reported as late stage at ~$2.5B, not announced as signed or closed, and no terms or timeline disclosed.
