Key Takeaways:
- Revolut will remove USDT from its crypto offering, preventing users from holding the stablecoin after August 31, 2026, citing regulatory and risk considerations.
- USDT purchases will end on July 6, 2026, while users can sell or withdraw their holdings before the final delisting deadline.
- Any remaining USDT after the deadline will be automatically converted into users’ base currency and credited to their Revolut balance within seven business days.
Revolut is yet again making a major adjustment to its crypto offerings by withdrawing the support of the world’s capitalized biggest stablecoin Tether’s USDT. The shift comes as part of fintech giant’s ongoing efforts to keep its digital asset products in line with the changing regulatory landscape and to risk-manage its platform.

Revolut Sets Timeline for USDT Delisting
Revolut has informed customers that USDT is being removed from Revolut’s crypto products over the next few weeks. As of July 6, 2026 at 12:00 PM GMT, users will no longer be able to buy USDT on the platform.
Those who already own USDT will have until August 31st at 12:00 PM GMT to either sell their USDT or move it to a different wallet that’s not part of the exchange. After the deadline, customers will no longer be able to have the stablecoin in their Revolut wallets.
Instead of leaving dormant balances untouched, Revolut confirmed that the remaining USDT will be converted into the customer’s base fiat currency at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the conversion. The converted funds will arrive in users’ balances in Revolut within seven business days.

Regulatory Pressure Continues to Reshape Stablecoin Listings
The move by Revolut follows a series of decisions by crypto firms in Europe to tweak their stablecoin products as they strive to meet tougher regulations.
With the European Union’s (EU) Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework rolling out, exchanges, brokers and fintech firms are asking themselves whether some stablecoins meet the EU’s regulatory requirements. However, despite USDT’s dominance, some European crypto service providers have already restricted or even banned support for the stablecoin due to changing compliance laws.
The stablecoin listing process now demands more than just demand for firms that are required to comply with European regulations. Some of the factors that now come into play when deciding if a digital asset remains accessible to customers, including issuers, reserve transparency, redemption mechanisms, and licensing.
Users Should Review Their Holdings before the Deadline
Users holding USDT in their Revolut accounts are advised to closely monitor their trades before the August deadline.
Those who want to keep exposure to USDT must withdraw their tokens to an external wallet before the end of support. Alternatively, users can sell their assets via Revolut, or trade assets while trading remains available.
It doesn’t impact other cryptocurre9ncies already available on the platform, and Revolut has not stated that there will be further stablecoins taken down at this time.
