The company reported $4 billion in revenue in 2024, almost twice as much as the previous year, and a $1 billion profit. With over 50 million users globally, it has developed a diverse business strategy that combines stock trading, payments, and a growing crypto arm. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Revolut\u2019s valuation under scrutiny<\/h2>\n<p>The valuation leap also follows investor pressure for earlier sales at $60 billion and $65 billion this year, which the company rejected. Criticism has trailed Revolut\u2019s expansion, with some investors warning that its private valuation exceeds comparable public fintechs. <\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Secondary markets like Forge still price Revolut shares below $1,000, yet the official tender sets a higher benchmark. For employees, the sale offers liquidity ahead of a potential 2026 IPO, expected to be in New York rather than London.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Revolut\u2019s expansion and crypto push<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The sale coincides with major growth moves. While continuing its global rollouts of services like Revolut X, a specialized cryptocurrency exchange app that was introduced earlier this year, Revolut is also working to obtain a U.S. bank charter, which would enable it to lend money across the country. <\/p>\n<p>The company is testing a fiat-pegged stablecoin in Latin America and has developed advanced fraud-protection tools for cryptocurrency payments.<\/p>\n<p>Together, these developments position Revolut as Europe\u2019s most valuable private tech firm, outpacing rivals like Stripe in valuation momentum and cementing its role at the intersection of digital banking and crypto finance.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Revolut has begun a secondary share sale valuing the fintech at $75 billion, allowing employees to sell up to 20% of their holdings in one of Europe\u2019s largest private tech&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7501,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9480"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9480\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9481,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9480\/revisions\/9481"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
