Revolut Adds Solana Payments, Transfers, and Staking

This development opens the door to using a high-speed blockchain directly through a familiar banking app. Revolut’s integration reflects a growing trend of banks and fintech platforms offering access to crypto in ways that are safe, regulated, and easy to use.

Seamless Solana Payments and Transfers

Revolut users can now send and receive Solana with the same simplicity as traditional bank transfers. By leveraging Solana’s high throughput, payments are processed in seconds with minimal fees. This is particularly useful for cross-border transfers, which often take days and incur high costs when using conventional banking rails. A real-world example is an expatriate in Europe sending funds to family in Southeast Asia.

Using Solana via Revolut, the transfer can settle almost instantly, providing a seamless experience while bypassing slow correspondent banking networks. According to blockchain analytics, Solana processes over 30,000 transactions per second, highlighting its capacity to handle high volumes of payments efficiently.

Beyond payments, Revolut users can also stake Solana directly in the app. Staking allows users to lock up their SOL tokens to help secure the network and, in return, earn staking rewards. This feature provides a simple entry point for those new to crypto investing who want to benefit from blockchain participation without managing complex validator setups.

More About Revolut

In 2025, Revolut processed over $8.3 billion in stablecoin transfers, highlighting the growing role of digital assets in everyday finance. The majority of these transfers occurred on established networks such as Ethereum, Tron, Polygon, and Solana, which remain the primary rails for stablecoin activity on the platform.

Emerging layer-2 and alternative chains like Arbitrum, Optimism, and Avalanche are just beginning to gain traction among Revolut users, signaling that customers are starting to explore newer, faster, and more cost-efficient networks for their stablecoin transactions. This trend reflects both the maturation of the stablecoin ecosystem and the increasing demand for diverse blockchain options.
