Revolut taps TRON for staking and stablecoin payments

By Vriti Gothi

TRON DAO has completed a strategic blockchain infrastructure integration with Revolut, enabling the global FinTech to support TRX staking and stablecoin transactions directly within its app for customers across the European Economic Area (EEA).

Under the integration, Revolut users can stake TRX, the native token of the TRON network, access stablecoin remittances, and convert fiat currencies to stablecoins at a 1:1 rate, according to the companies. The services are now live across all 30 EEA markets.

The move places TRON at the centre of Revolut’s “Crypto 2.0” initiative, which aims to expand the platform’s digital asset capabilities using institutional-grade infrastructure. For Revolut, which serves more than 65 million customers globally, the integration strengthens its ability to offer crypto-native services within a regulated FinTech environment as European markets prepare for full implementation of the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework.

The partnership allows Revolut customers to participate in TRX staking without leaving the app, using TRON’s Delegated Proof-of-Stake model. The companies said the setup is designed to remove the operational complexity typically associated with staking, while enabling participation in network governance. In addition, TRON’s network will support fast, low-cost stablecoin transfers, a use case that has become increasingly relevant for cross-border payments and remittances.

TRON processes more than $23 billion in daily transfer volume and hosts over $79 billion in circulating stablecoins, positioning it as one of the largest stablecoin settlement networks globally. Justin Sun, founder of TRON, said the integration demonstrates how blockchain infrastructure can be deployed at scale within regulated financial platforms.

The Revolut integration follows a series of TRON partnerships with crypto service providers such as Kraken, MetaMask, and MoonPay, as competition intensifies among blockchain networks to become the default settlement layer for FinTech and payments platforms. As stablecoins gain prominence in international commerce, collaborations between regulated FinTechs and public blockchain networks are increasingly seen as a pathway to bridging traditional finance and decentralised systems.

A third-party validator fee of up to 3% of gross staking rewards applies on-chain, the companies noted.
