Aleo Makes History: First Privacy-Focused Blockchain to Hit Revolut’s 60M-User Platform
Privacy just went mainstream—Aleo's blockchain breakthrough lands on Revolut's crowded fintech superapp. Finally, crypto anonymity for the masses (or at least those who read the terms and conditions).
Why this matters
Revolut's 60 million users can now tap into zero-knowledge proofs without needing a PhD in cryptography. The neo-bank's stamp of approval gives Aleo more street cred than a Satoshi whitepaper tattoo.
The fine print
No word yet on whether Revolut will classify Aleo as "privacy coin"—that regulatory gray area where bankers break out in hives. But for now? A rare win for financial privacy in an era where every app wants your biometric data "for security purposes."
Bottom line: When legacy finance adopts privacy tech, either the revolution is here—or they've found a way to tax it.
Aleo has already announced that it will be integrated into Revolut, and now the privacy-preserving blockchain ecosystem will be the first to appear within the popular fintech application in Europe.
We're excited to announce that Aleo is now the first privacy-preserving blockchain available on the @RevolutApp!

The collaboration will provide over 60 million Revolut users around the globe with access to Aleo and position this privacy-centric cryptocurrency along with their daily spending and investment tools.
Aleo expects to bring privacy to blockchain transactions to the masses by adding its services to Revolut’s expanding crypto offering. This step will enable the Revolut users to purchase, sell, and hold Aleo directly in the application, in addition to their usual finances.
Privacy-First Crypto Meets Aleo’s Mainstream Access
Aleo is a tool designed to make blockchain software fully programmable while ensuring zero-knowledge privacy, allowing transactions and smart contracts to be done without revealing any private information.
The integration with Revolut is a big step toward reaching widespread approval amidst blockchain technologies, focusing on privacy.
Revolut is an innovative company that offers a convenient interface and a wide range of financial products, enabling customers to spend using both physical and VIRTUAL cards, as well as a single-use card that provides better security and is compatible with Apple Pay and Google Pay.
The integration will enable users be able to transact in the same ecosystem where they perform their daily payments, investments, and currency exchanges with a privacy-focused crypto alternative.
Expanding Reach to a Global User Base
Being able to access more than 55,000+ ATMs worldwide and having competitive exchange rates, Revolut has made itself a global gateway to both traditional and digital finance.
The Aleo integration suggests that the privacy features of cryptocurrency are now available on the same platform as Revolut, which supports over 55 fiat currencies and various other digital assets.
Revolut listing provides access to a far broader audience than conventional crypto exchange integrations would.
Revolut offers its customers a frictionless experience to explore privacy-first blockchain technology without needing to leave their main financial application.
This collaboration means that Revolut can ride on the surge of interest in digital privacy among consumers and that Aleo can further cement its reputation as one of the most extensive fintech platforms internationally.
