UK Revolut Nears US Bank Launch as Bitcoin Services Could Follow

Revolut is reportedly close to launching a U.S. bank, which would give the fintech broader access to U.S. consumer banking services and regulatory frameworks. The firm indicated bitcoin and other crypto services could follow the bank launch, potentially integrating trading, custody, or payments within a regulated banking structure. This move could materially expand U.S. retail access and liquidity for bitcoin but would subject those services to stricter banking and regulatory oversight that could shape product availability and custody models.
