Revolut integrates with Trust Wallet to let EEA users buy BTC, ETH, SOL, USDC and USDT directly into self-custody wallets, with zero-fee options under MiCA.
Summary
- Revolut connects its payment rails to Trust Wallet so EEA users can buy major coins straight into self-custody, skipping custodial accounts.
- The integration supports BTC, ETH, Solana, USDC and USDT at launch, with zero-fee purchase options in some cases plus standard gas costs.
- Revolut’s new MiCA license underpins a compliant fiat-to-crypto gateway for Trust Wallet across the European Economic Area.
Revolut and Trust Wallet have launched an integration allowing users across the European Economic Area to purchase cryptocurrencies instantly and send them directly to self-custody, the companies announced.
Revolut pushing ahead with crypto plans
The partnership combines Revolut’s payment infrastructure with Trust Wallet’s non-custodial architecture, according to a statement. The integration provides an entry point into digital assets with the possibility of zero fees in certain cases.
Trust Wallet users can purchase crypto using multiple Revolut payment rails, including Revolut Pay, card payments, and bank transfers, directly inside the Trust Wallet app, according to the announcement. Purchases made through the partnership are delivered immediately to the user’s self-custody Trust Wallet, rather than being initially held in a custodial wallet.
The collaboration offers zero-fee options in some cases, though standard blockchain gas fees still apply, according to the companies. Overall costs may vary depending on the user’s Revolut plan and chosen payment method.
The initial rollout supports purchases of major assets including Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), USD Coin, and Tether. Additional cryptocurrencies are expected to be added as the integration expands, the companies stated.
The partnership follows Revolut’s acquisition of a MiCA license, which allows the company to operate crypto services across the entire EEA under the EU’s unified regulatory framework. The integration connects Revolut’s payment infrastructure with Trust Wallet’s non-custodial platform, providing Trust Wallet with a fiat-to-crypto gateway compliant with European regulations.
