TREE NEWS update: Revolut has obtained a Gibraltar distributed ledger technology licence for a new entity, the company said, as part of its international crypto expansion strategy. The licence allows the fintech to offer crypto services under Gibraltar’s regulatory framework. Further details on the entity’s operations and timeline were not disclosed.
Revolut secures Gibraltar DLT licence for international crypto expansion
AI take
The Gibraltar DLT licence gives Revolut a regulated European-adjacent base for crypto services, which matters less as a customer-facing milestone than as a jurisdictional hedge for a fintech with banking ambitions. Gibraltar's framework is a lighter-touch route than full EU authorisation, so the choice signals where Revolut sees room to scale crypto without the heavier compliance load of a banking licence. What the licence actually enables remains unspecified, and whether this becomes an operating hub or a dormant entity is the open question.
