As recently featured in the Cyprus Mail, Revolut, the global fintech giant, selected Cyprus as the base for its European cryptocurrency operations, following approval of a Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) licence from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) through its subsidiary, Revolut Digital Assets Europe Ltd.

This move marks a significant step for both Revolut and Cyprus. The MiCA framework, newly implemented across the EU, introduces a single regulatory regime for crypto-asset service providers, setting strict standards for transparency, consumer protection, risk management, and governance.

Key Features of Revolutโ€™s New Operations

From November 25, 2025, Revolut will stop acting as an intermediary for client orders in Crypto and will execute transactions directly.

Enhanced Security and Transparency

European clients will enter into contracts directly with Revolut, with funds and data safeguarded under reinforced protection measures.

What This Means for Cyprus

Revolutโ€™s decision highlights confidence in Cyprusโ€™ regulatory and technological environment, positioning the island as a fast-growing hub for fintech and crypto innovation. With this high-profile endorsement Cyprus strengthens its reputation as a destination for digital asset businesses and investment.

By hosting a major fintech player like Revolut, Cyprus is poised to attract talent, stimulate innovation, and reinforce its digital economy ambitions, particularly in blockchain and other emerging technologies.
