Revolut is sending out invites to select customers for a cryptocurrency exchange.

The financial technology company said it’s developing a “standalone cryptocurrency exchange.”

CoinDesk first reported the news, noting that the exchange would be targeting “advanced traders.”

“We always develop new products and functionalities, desired by our customers or asked by the market. The standalone cryptocurrency exchange is one of the future developments, but more information will be released only when the product will be available in-app. Currently this product is accessible by invite only, we will be rolling this out and inviting more customers to take part,” a spokesperson for Revolut told Blockworks.

It’s not immediately clear who would be targeted as an advanced trader.

According to CoinDesk, a customer email also teased that users could find “deeper analytical tools and lower fees than the app.”

Revolut said in December that it planned to “temporarily pause” UK business crypto purchases following new rules from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority.

An email seen by Blockworks at the time said that Revolut needed to “adjust our current Business crypto offering to make sure aloof the new requirements are met.”

The pause went into effect in early January.

The digital neobank, in August, announced that it would suspend crypto services to US customers in October.

Innovations on Aptos’ technical design through Raptr, Shardines, and Zaptos approach near-optimal latency and throughput by unlocking 100% utilization of network resources, with the capacity to settle 260k transactions per second with latencies less than 800ms. The original Move language was revamped with the launch of Move 2, supporting more expressivity in smart contract logic and a scalable ability to interact with high volume datasets. The ecosystem has benefitted from strong asset inflows, now hosting over $1.3B in stablecoins, $450M in bridged BTC, and $530M in RWAs. Activity in the Aptos ecosystem has grown notably over the past year, with monthly application revenue reaching ~$835k and monthly DEX volumes growing to over $5B, both at new all time highs.
