The London-based company plans to raise the funds through a combination of newly issued shares and the sale of existing stock, the report said.
Greenoaks, a U.S. investment firm that specializes in backing high-growth technology ventures like Robinhood and Stripe, is in talks to lead the round, although final terms have not been confirmed.
The jump in valuation would also push Revolut closer to an internal milestone. CEO Nik Storonsky is eligible for a substantial compensation package if the company reaches a $150 billion valuation, according to the Financial Times.
Revolut offers users the possibility of gaining exposure to various cryptocurrencies and crypto stocks. It’s working on rolling out Lightning Network payments for European users.

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.
