Revolut’s Crypto Ambitions
Launched in 2015, Revolut is a London-based FinTech startup that has grown to become one of the world’s largest neobanks.
Revolut made its first foray into crypto as its business grew in 2017. Since then, the firm has integrated a range of crypto services into its app and boasts support for over 100 cryptos on its website. Until recently, this included Cardano (ADA), Polygon (MATIC), and Solana (SOL).
As it entered the competitive US market in 2020, Revolut’s crypto offering helped it stand out from the crowd. But any venture into digital assets means riding the sector’s highs and lows.
Last year, Revolut’s CEO Nikolay Storonsky defended the decision to continue supporting crypto. Commenting on the business risks it posed in light of the collapse of FTX, he said that “crypto is not over.” In fact, he stated that Revolut is “actually doubling down on crypto products.”
However, that was before the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) started butting heads with US crypto businesses.
