Revolut’s 65M Users Get Solana Access: The Next Wave of Mainstream Crypto Adoption

Revolut just flipped the switch on Solana support—and 65 million users just got a new on-ramp to one of crypto's fastest ecosystems.

The move slashes another barrier between traditional finance and the blockchain world. No more complicated wallet setups or obscure exchanges—just tap, buy, and hold SOL alongside your fiat and other digital assets. It's the kind of seamless integration that makes crypto feel less like a speculative gamble and more like... well, a usable financial tool.

Why This Is Bigger Than Just Another Coin Listing

Forget the ticker symbol for a second. This isn't just about adding an asset; it's about validation. When a fintech giant with tens of millions of customers decides a blockchain is worth the integration effort, it sends a signal. It tells developers that the network's user base is poised to explode. It tells institutions that the infrastructure is being taken seriously. And it tells everyday users that maybe, just maybe, this 'crypto thing' has legs beyond Bitcoin.

The Ripple Effect on the Solana Ecosystem

Expect a surge. New users mean fresh capital, increased transaction volume, and heightened attention for everything built on Solana—from DeFi protocols to NFT marketplaces. This kind of exposure doesn't just boost the price of SOL; it supercharges the entire network effect. Projects that were once niche can suddenly find themselves in front of an audience the size of a mid-sized country.

Of course, the traditional finance crowd will scoff—calling it another risky plaything for the masses. But then again, they said the same thing about the internet. Revolut isn't betting on a meme; it's betting on a movement. And with 65 million people now just a few clicks away from Solana, that movement just got a whole lot harder to ignore.

What is Revolut’s crypto footprint in 2025?

As Cryptopolitan reported, Revolut expanded its crypto access in the past months. In November, the platform offered access to Polygon and its native POL (formerly MATIC) token. 

Revolut started its latest expansion into more crypto networks after securing a MiCAR license from Cyprus, making it capable of offering selected assets across the EU, as Cryptopolitan reported.

In 2025, the neobank app also brought back crypto services to the USA after freezing crypto trading for US-based customers in 2023. 

For now, Revolut is relatively conservative in adding crypto services compared to other fintech apps. The limited crypto features are still accessible to over 65M registered users, surpassing many popular wallets. The company taps both the highly active fintech market in the UK and offers additional Euro area services. 

Solana expands its fintech activity

Solana has already joined other payment leaders in some form, including Cash App, Venmo, and Western Union. Cash App is expected to launch USDC payments in early 2026. Stripe also settles USDC on the Solana network. 

Additionally, new experimental payment apps are using Solana, while native wallets and platforms extend their services to include payments. 

SOL was also available on Revolut for investments and in-app trading, and will now be added as an option for P2P transfers and withdrawals. 

Solana is widely adopted in Europe, as a big part of its nodes and validators use regional cloud services. Europe, and especially the UK, has adopted Solana for token launches, with several countries joining the launch of memes.
