Fintech Giant’s Secondary Deal Underscores Investor Confidence After Record Year
Revolut has reached a $75 billion valuation after completing a secondary share sale backed by some of the biggest names in global finance and technology, marking one of the largest private-market valuations ever achieved by a European fintech.
The transaction drew participation from Coatue, Greenoaks, Dragoneer, Fidelity, Andreessen Horowitz, Franklin Templeton and NVIDIA’s venture investment arm, NVentures. Existing employees were allowed to sell a portion of their holdings, marking the company’s fifth internal liquidity event.
The valuation reflects Revolut’s dramatic operational expansion and the strongest financial performance in its decade-long history.
Financial Momentum and Global Expansion Drive Investor Appetite
Revolut reported $4 billion in revenue for 2024, a 72% increase from the prior year, alongside a 149% jump in pre-tax profit to $1.4 billion. The company said its business banking unit has scaled rapidly, now generating $1 billion in annualized revenue.
Revolut’s global footprint also continued to expand. The firm secured banking licenses in Mexico and Colombia in 2025 and is preparing market launches in India and broader Latin America, extending access to its growing user base of more than 65 million customers worldwide.
The fundraising reflects investor confidence in Revolut’s ability to combine high-speed user growth with increasingly diversified revenue streams including payments, banking, trading, and crypto services.
Accelerating Push Into Crypto With MiCA Approval and Polygon Partnership
Revolut has deepened its position in the digital asset ecosystem, leveraging Europe’s newly implemented MiCA regulatory framework to expand its crypto product lineup.
In October, the company obtained a MiCA license from Cyprus, granting regulatory approval to offer crypto services across the European Economic Area. Days later, Revolut launched its Crypto 2.0 platform, adding support for more than 280 tokens, introducing zero-fee staking and enabling no-cost stablecoin swaps.
The firm also partnered with Polygon Labs to enable UK and EEA users to send remittances in USDC, USDT and POL directly through the Revolut app using the Polygon blockchain. The initiative positions Revolut as one of the few mainstream fintechs building consumer-facing crypto payment flows at scale.
A Milestone That Signals Fintech’s New Phase
Although Revolut did not disclose the total transaction size, the company highlighted that the deal provided liquidity for employees and long-term contributors while reinforcing its ambitions to become a global financial super-app spanning traditional banking, payments, and Web3 infrastructure.
With profitability accelerating, regulatory approvals expanding and investor demand strengthening, Revolut enters 2026 as one of the most valuable and strategically positioned private companies in the fintech sector—bridging the gap between legacy finance and the increasingly digital global economy.
