A new collaboration between Revolut and Trust Wallet opens a direct and streamlined path to self-custody crypto purchases for users in the European Union. With this setup, users can buy crypto straight from the wallet using Revolut Pay, cards, or bank transfers. The assets land directly in their own wallet, with no outside platforms involved from start to finish.
This approach cuts down on what has traditionally been a lengthy process. There are no manual asset transfer steps, no temporary holds on other platforms, and no delays keeping users waiting. It also points to a broader shift among European users toward faster digital transactions that don’t compromise ownership. Revolut offers a familiar way to pay, and the wallet makes sure private keys stay put.
Initially, these instant purchases cover major assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, USDC, and USDT. The focus isn’t on a wide variety of tokens, but rather on a clean and easy-to-understand initial experience.
Furthermore, the purchase process is designed so that users don’t need to understand the technical details of the network or transfer mechanisms. Everything happens in a single flow, yet the end result remains an asset that the user fully controls.
This approach aligns with the rising interest in self-custody. Many users want the speed of traditional financial applications, but without having to relinquish control of their digital assets. Furthermore, this collaboration positions the crypto wallet as the primary entry point, not just a storage place after a transaction is completed.
On December 3, we reported on the launch of the predictions feature in Trust Wallet, which allows users to access event-based trading, covering sports, politics, and crypto. It runs entirely on-chain, so positions stay managed inside the user’s wallet at all times.
A few weeks earlier, in late November, we also covered the rollout of Apple Pay support for crypto purchases across more than 45 countries, making fiat access smoother for everyday payment users.
Meanwhile, on August 15, we reported the renewal of our long-term partnership with MoonPay, which strengthens fiat payment support across multiple regions.
