Uniswap’s Game-Changer: Revolut Now Powers Global Crypto Onramp for Millions

Uniswap just tore down another wall. The decentralized exchange giant has integrated Revolut as its newest global onramp, connecting its massive DeFi liquidity directly to the fintech's 40+ million users worldwide.

From Fiat to DeFi in Clicks

This isn't just another partnership—it's a bridge. Revolut's slick interface now funnels users straight into Uniswap's pools, bypassing traditional exchanges entirely. Want to swap euros for ETH or pounds for UNI? The path just got shorter, faster, and wrapped in Revolut's familiar branding.

Liquidity Meets Legitimacy

The move signals a maturation play. By aligning with a regulated fintech behemoth, Uniswap adds a layer of mainstream legitimacy often absent in DeFi's wild west. It's a strategic nod to users who want exposure without the operational headache—and perhaps a subtle jab at banks still treating crypto like a contagion.

The Onramp Wars Heat Up

This integration throws fuel on the fire for user acquisition. Competing DEXs and CEXs now face a formidable duo: Uniswap's unparalleled liquidity paired with Revolut's frictionless onboarding. It redefines the entry point for the next wave of adopters.

A cynical take? Another step toward making crypto convenient enough for the masses to use—and for the same old financial intermediaries to eventually repackage and profit from. But for now, it's a win for access. The gates are open; the liquidity is waiting.

Key Highlights

• Uniswap adds Revolut as a new fiat onramp across 28 countries.
• The integration supports debit cards, bank transfers, and Revolut balances.
• The update follows Uniswap’s CCA launch and Revolut’s $75B valuation.

Uniswap Labs has partnered with European fintech Revolut, adding the app used by more than 65 million users as a new onramping option in the Uniswap web app and mobile wallet. The integration, announced on Tuesday, allows users in 28 countries to buy crypto directly from a Revolut balance, debit card, or bank transfer without switching between platforms.

The MOVE plugs one of Europe’s most used finance apps into one of crypto’s largest decentralized exchanges. It marks a significant connection point between traditional fintech rails and DeFi liquidity.

How the new integration works

Revolut now appears as a payment method inside Uniswap’s “Buy” flow, joining existing providers like Robinhood, Transak, and MoonPay. Purchases can be funded in more than a dozen fiat currencies, with Revolut waiving its own fee when users pay through Revolut Pay.

Supported assets include ETH and USDC on Ethereum, POL on Polygon, and more than 40 tokens across Uniswap. Revolut users can buy crypto without extra identity checks. Off-ramping is not yet available, though sell-for-fiat support is planned.

The technology behind

The onramp service is wired directly into Uniswap’s front end, allowing the app to route fiat payments to Revolut’s processing LAYER and return purchased crypto straight to the user’s self-custodial wallet. The integration aims to cut friction between traditional banking rails and onchain settlement, an area long slowed by fragmented payment infrastructure.

By embedding Revolut alongside other providers, Uniswap continues to build a multi-provider, region-adaptive onramp architecture that reduces reliance on any single payment partner and broadens access to onchain markets.

Uniswap’s recent developments

The Revolut integration follows Uniswap’s launch of the Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA) protocol in mid-November. Built with Aztec, the CCA framework enables projects to run permissionless, private token auctions on Uniswap v4 with optional zero-knowledge passport verification.

CCA is designed to improve price discovery for new tokens and automatically seed fresh liquidity into v4 pools at the auction clearing price, part of Uniswap’s broader effort to modernize onchain market structure.

Revolut’s broader expansion

Revolut has been accelerating its global ambitions. The company recently confirmed a $75 billion valuation after a major funding round and secondary share sale, reinforcing its position as Europe’s most valuable private fintech.

The firm is also expanding its on-chain payment rails through Polygon and pursuing banking licenses in new jurisdictions, signaling a broader push into decentralized finance.
