Revolut wins Gibraltar digital-asset license as it prepares wider international rollout

Revolut wins Gibraltar digital-asset license as it prepares wider international rollout

The Gibraltar entity is permitted to transmit and execute virtual-asset orders, provide custody services and offer staking.

Revolut has not identified the countries that could be added under the license or provided launch dates. The company said the approval will support crypto offerings across international expansion markets, while further details on target regions and service rollouts will be announced later. The license therefore establishes the regulatory basis for expansion but does not confirm that customers can already use the services in a new market.

Revolut currently offers crypto services through Revolut Ltd in the UK and Revolut Digital Assets Europe Ltd across the European Economic Area, where its operations fall under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets framework. The company says it has more than 80 million retail customers worldwide, including more than 16 million crypto users.

The Gibraltar approval follows Revolut’s July in-principle approval from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority for broker-dealer, management and investment, and exchange services in the UAE. That approval remains subject to final regulatory steps, and Revolut has said it intends to offer the UAE services through its retail app and Revolut X. The company also received preliminary conditional approval from US regulators in September to establish a national bank offering digital-asset custody and crypto-related payment services.

Taken together, the approvals give Revolut separate regulatory pathways in several jurisdictions, but each authorization remains tied to local conditions and entities. The immediate next step in Gibraltar is the selection of target markets and the design of service rollouts; no first market, supported asset list, fees or customer eligibility rules have been announced.
