Neobank giant Revolut has achieved a $75 billion valuation after completing a major share sale, solidifying its position among the world's most valuable private fintech companies. The successful funding round, led by firms including Coatue, Greenoaks, and Fidelity, provided liquidity for employees to cash out some of their equity.
Key Drivers of Investor Confidence:
- Soaring Financials: Revolut reported a 72% surge in annual revenue to $4 billion in 2024, with profit before tax jumping 149% to $1.4 billion.
- Customer Growth: The company surpassed 65 million retail customers in 2025, while its business division achieved $1 billion in annualized revenue.
- Global Expansion: Revolut is executing a broad international strategy, having secured banking licenses in countries like Mexico and Colombia and preparing to launch in India.
MiCA Approval Fuels Crypto Capabilities:
Revolut has become one of the first major fintechs to receive regulatory approval under the European Union’s new MiCA regime.
- Since receiving authorization in October from Cyprus’s securities regulator, Revolut can now offer regulated crypto trading, custody, and payments across all 30 countries in the European Economic Area.
- This strengthened crypto capability underscores the growing investor appetite for digital finance firms that seamlessly integrate crypto services.
Public Listing Momentum:
The company is reportedly exploring a potential dual public listing in London and New York. This exploration comes as momentum builds in public markets for crypto-linked companies, including:
- Circle (USDC) making its NYSE debut in June.
- Figure and Gemini listing on Nasdaq in September.
- Other major players like BitGo and Kraken preparing for IPOs.
Analysts anticipate this wave of crypto-adjacent IPOs will continue into 2026, driven by stronger sector performance and increasing regulatory clarity. Revolut, with its massive valuation and early MiCA approval, is positioned as a leader at the fintech-crypto convergence, potentially setting a new standard for global digital finance IPOs.
