According to reports, Revolut will launch its crypto-staking service for users in the UK and EEA sometime this week. The London-based bank currently has over 25 million customers, most of whom are residents of the UK and EEA regions.
While the launch is only being revealed, Revolut has been working on the feature for a while now. A Revolut app user, Gordon Gekko, shared:
It appears the ability to 'stake' certain cryptocurrencies has quietly been added to the @RevolutApp. Head to the crypto section - then click on 'Invest'. The staking section and terms can be found there. pic.twitter.com/rQ779e8rxx

Revolut Embraces Crypto Staking
Revolut currently allows users to purchase over 100 different crypto assets. However, Polkadot (DOT), Tezos (XTZ), Cardano (ADA), and Ethereum (ETH) will be the first cryptos available for staking.
Users could generate yields ranging from 2.99% up to 11.65% by staking their crypto on Revolut. Crypto staking involves lending your crypto for a certain period to help support the security of a blockchain network in return for rewards.
The crypto community welcomed the launch, which encourages the continuous expansion of crypto services. Popular crypto trader @TradedogCrypto writes:
