Revolut integrated full Solana support on December 3, enabling its 65 million global customers to send, receive, stake and pay using SOL, USDT and USDC directly within the neobank app.
The integration marks a significant expansion for Solana in mainstream finance, positioning the blockchain as infrastructure for high-volume payments across one of Europe's largest digital banks. Revolut previously offered SOL only as a trading asset without blockchain connectivity.
Users can now execute peer-to-peer transfers, withdraw to external wallets, and participate in staking through the banking interface.
The move places Solana alongside Revolut's limited blockchain roster of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple.
What Happened
Revolut processes over $8.3 billion in stablecoin transfers annually, with Ethereum, Tron, Polygon and Solana serving as the primary settlement rails. The Solana integration enables users to transact in USDT and USDC over the network, taking advantage of sub-second settlement and near-zero fees.
The timing positions Revolut users ahead of Breakpoint 2025 in Abu Dhabi, where Solana ecosystem updates are expected to be unveiled. Revolut holds 15 million crypto-enabled accounts within its total user base.
Solana joins a growing roster of fintech applications adopting the blockchain for payment infrastructure. Venmo added SOL support in April 2025, Cash App plans to launch USDC payments on Solana in early 2026, and Western Union is deploying a Solana-based stablecoin for cross-border remittances in the first half of 2026.

Stripe settled USDC transactions on Solana throughout 2025, demonstrating institutional confidence in the network's payment capabilities.
Why It Matters
Revolut's integration provides Solana with direct access to a mainstream banking audience across 39 markets. The company operates with a $65 billion valuation and serves customers in Europe, Asia and the Americas, creating distribution potential for Solana-based services beyond crypto-native users.
The announcement coincided with Solana Mobile's December 3 reveal of its SKR token launching in January 2026. The token will power governance and staking for the Seeker smartphone ecosystem, with 30% of the 10 billion supply allocated to device holders and active dApp users through airdrops.
Solana Mobile has shipped 150,000 Seeker units and generated over $100 million in economic activity through 175 decentralized applications. The SKR token introduces a 10% initial inflation rate that decays 25% annually until stabilizing at 2%.
Revolut's staking feature removes technical barriers for earning yields, enabling customers to participate in network validation without managing non-custodial wallets or validator infrastructure. SOL traded near $143 following the announcement, up approximately 4% from pre-announcement levels.
The broader fintech adoption pattern suggests Solana is transitioning from a speculative asset to payment infrastructure for regulated financial services, competing directly with legacy settlement networks.
