Revolut also surpassed 50 million customers for the first time in 2024, with many of them possibly keen to dip their toe into cryptocurrency trading as the market boomed. Bitcoin increased in price by over 120% during the calendar year, which was bookended by the approval of spot bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. in January and the election victory of the pro-crypto President Trump in November.
The fintech firm wasn't the sole benefactor of the crypto trading surge. Crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) and popular trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) also said they saw a boost from crypto trading activities last year. Both firms are set to report their earnings in the next few weeks.
Across the business at large, Revolut's revenue also increased 72% from 1.8 billion pounds to over 3 billion. Profits before tax surpassed 1 billion pounds, following a nearly 150% increase compared to 2023.
Cryptocurrency has a track record of bolstering Revolut's earnings. The fintech's first annual profit came in 2021, another time customers were looking to cash in on a crypto bull market.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
