Revolut Activates USDC, USDT and POL Transfers on Polygon for UK and Non‑EU EEA Users

The move builds on roughly $690 million in prior Polygon volume, reflecting EU curbs on certain stablecoins.

Overview

  • Revolut is switching on USDC and USDT transfers on Polygon, alongside POL, directly inside its app for eligible customers.
  • Access applies to the United Kingdom and non‑EU countries in the European Economic Area, according to Revolut.
  • Revolut’s Polygon integration, first enabled in December 2024, has processed about $690 million with near‑instant settlement and minimal fees.
  • A Revolut spokesperson said this is the first time USDC and USDT are live on Polygon inside the app for sending and receiving.
  • Revolut recently secured a MiCA license in Cyprus, which could position it to launch its own stablecoin, and Polygon hosts about $3.2 billion in stablecoins.
