Revolut Crypto review: score, licensing and risks
65/100SCORE · CMixed record
Grade C, fair
Revolut holds a banking licence in Europe and a MiCA CASP licence, and buying crypto inside the app is very convenient. Standard tier fees of 1.49 percent or more are among the highest anywhere, and the ability to withdraw to your own wallet has historically been limited depending on asset and region.

Our read
Convenient and expensive. The bigger issue for many users has been the limits on moving coins to a wallet you control, which defeats much of the point of owning them.
