Revolut offers a wide range of financial products through its financial superapp, and crypto is an increasingly popular feature.

Revolut is exploring ways to introduce crypto withdrawals in Europe to allow customers to send out their tokens from Revolut to external wallets and exchanges.
Revolut reminds its customers that cryptocurrencies are not regulated and not protected by investor compensation schemes. Crypto tokens are volatile assets and prices can change fast. The value of cryptocurrency may go down, as well as up, very quickly, and trading may be subject to tax. While Revolut believes in widening access to crypto, it may not be appropriate for everyone, so the company encourages its customers to research the various cryptocurrencies and the risks and opportunities before buying or selling. Customers should review independent sources and learn the differences between tokens as well as consider their personal circumstances when buying or selling crypto. Capital is at risk.
