European crypto users can now more easily buy cryptocurrencies and store them directly in their own wallets. Revolut and Trust Wallet have launched a new partnership that automatically sends purchased crypto to a self-custody wallet. This removes the need to use an exchange or first store the coins within Revolut.
Buy Crypto, Send Directly to Your Own Wallet #
When users buy crypto through RevolutPay, a bank transfer, or a debit or credit card, the digital assets will appear immediately in their Trust Wallet. Why is this important? Many crypto users want the ability to manage their own private keys without the intervention of a third party. This means buyers have full control over their assets from the very first moment.
At launch, several popular coins are supported, including bitcoin, ethereum, solana, USD Coin, and USD Tether. The purchase is processed through Revolut, but the coins are forwarded directly to Trust Wallet. This means users no longer need to take extra steps to withdraw their crypto from an exchange, a process that many beginners find difficult.
A notable feature is that some transactions can be fee-free. In certain cases, purchases can be executed with zero fees, lowering the barrier for small transactions.
Pay and Store in a Single Step #
Until now, many Revolut users had to keep their crypto within the app or manually transfer it to their own wallet later. That process is now significantly simplified.
The new integration allows users to spend euros within Revolut’s payment environment and manage the results directly in a self-custody wallet. According to multiple news outlets, this reduces the friction between the traditional financial world and the decentralized ecosystem.
The timing is no coincidence. European crypto regulation is becoming clearer through frameworks like MiCA. This creates room for companies to expand their services and offer new integrations without unnecessary risks. The collaboration between Revolut and Trust Wallet fits this trend: users retain control themselves, while the purchase process is made simpler and more secure.
At the same time, recent attention from the U.S. banking regulator shows that large banks are becoming increasingly cautious about opening their infrastructure to crypto companies.
A Step Towards Wider Adoption #
In the crypto world, self-custody has long been considered an important security measure. The famous saying “not your keys, not your crypto” emphasizes why many users prefer to use their own wallet. By simplifying the purchase experience, both parties hope to reach a larger group of people who have been hesitant until now.
With this step, buying crypto in Europe has become a bit easier, without users having to give up control over their coins.
