Will Revolut launch a USD stablecoin in 2026?$18.9K Vol.42%
Revolut is actively developing a proprietary USD-pegged stablecoin but has not yet issued a live, transferrable token as of July 2026.
Revolut, a global fintech with 65 million users, is pursuing this through its Lithuanian EMI license under EU MiCA rules and a pending U.S. bank charter.
The company currently offers fee-free 1:1 USD-to-stablecoin (USDT/USDC) conversions but lacks its own branded token, relying instead on testing in the UK sandbox to prepare for full issuance.
Launching a proprietary USD stablecoin would let Revolut capture issuance fees and deepen its banking-crypto integration, while failure to launch by year-end 2026 would delay its direct control over stablecoin liquidity.
Note: The market resolution requires the stablecoin to be "actively transferrable and/or tradable," meaning a limited public test or announcement alone would not satisfy the "Yes" condition.
As of mid-January 2026, Revolut has not launched a proprietary USD stablecoin, with no public announcement or partner disclosure confirming an imminent issuance.
