Revolut Delists USDT Amid Tighter Stablecoin Regulations
04.07.2026
The international fintech service Revolut has notified users of the upcoming delisting of the USDT (Tether) stablecoin from its platform, reflecting growing regulatory pressure on the digital currency market. The decision will take effect in the coming weeks, after which users will no longer be able to buy, sell, or hold USDT in the Revolut app. The company emphasized that the measure is driven by the need to comply with new requirements from financial regulators and the desire to ensure customer safety.USDT is the largest stablecoin by market capitalization, with a supply exceeding $110 billion as of July 2026. However, in recent months, regulatory authorities in the U.S., the European Union, and a number of other jurisdictions have tightened controls on stablecoins, requiring transparency regarding reserves and compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CFT) standards.According to analysts, more than 60% of global cryptocurrency trading is conducted using stablecoins, with USDT remaining the dominant instrument in the market. Revolut’s decision could influence investor preferences and lead to a shift in liquidity toward other digital assets that meet the new requirements.Experts note that the actions of major fintech companies, such as Revolut, underscore the importance of adapting to the changing regulatory environment and may serve as a signal to other market participants that they need to review their policies regarding stablecoins.
