Revolut and Trust Wallet partner for instant EU crypto purchases

Fintech firm Revolut has teamed up with Binance-owned Trust Wallet to allow European users to buy cryptocurrencies instantly and securely. The integration enables direct transfers to self-custodial wallets, emphasizing user control over assets. This move supports Revolut's expanding crypto services in the region.

Revolut, the London-based fintech giant, and Trust Wallet announced their partnership on Thursday, December 11, 2025, aiming to simplify cryptocurrency acquisitions for users across the European Union. Through this integration, individuals can purchase digital assets using RevolutPay, debit or credit cards, or bank transfers, with funding available instantly and zero fees in certain scenarios.

Unlike traditional fintech-to-crypto services that route funds through centralized exchanges, this setup sends cryptocurrencies directly to Trust Wallet, a self-custodial application utilized by over 220 million people worldwide. This approach ensures users maintain full control of their assets from the point of purchase, reducing reliance on intermediaries.

The initial supported cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, USDC, and USDT, with plans to incorporate additional assets in the future. The partnership aligns with Revolut's broader crypto ambitions, following its acquisition of a MiCA license through Cyprus, which grants regulatory clearance to provide services throughout the European Economic Area.

Revolut has seen significant growth, achieving a $75 billion valuation in a recent secondary share sale supported by investors such as Coatue, Fidelity, and NVIDIA’s NVentures. For 2024, the company reported $4 billion in revenue and $1.4 billion in pre-tax profit. It has also secured new banking licenses in Mexico and Colombia, and in November 2025, collaborated with Polygon Labs to facilitate remittances using USDC, USDT, and POL on the Polygon blockchain.

This development underscores the increasing integration of traditional finance with blockchain technology, particularly in regulated markets like the EU.
