Aleo Announces Partnership with Fintech Unicorn Revolut

We're excited to announce that ALEO is the first privacy-preserving blockchain to be listed on the Revolut app, allowing users to access zero-knowledge infrastructure through a platform serving over 12 million crypto users across the UK and EEA.

Revolut operates as Europe’s largest crypto-friendly fintech with 60 million global users. This partnership places ALEO tokens within a fully regulated and compliant financial infrastructure, eliminating the barriers to adoption for those building the next generation of private applications.

Easier Token Access

European users previously had to navigate multi-step processes to acquire ALEO tokens. Revolut’s integration simplifies this: existing Revolut account holders can purchase and transfer $ALEO without additional KYC steps or new custody arrangements.

Trading fees start at 0% on the main platform, instant fiat transfers between Revolut accounts, and staking yields of up to 19% APY while allowing withdrawals to the existing self-custody wallets in the Aleo Network.

This access path reduces the friction for acquiring computational resources to build and secure applications on the Aleo Network, especially for ZK developers targeting a European user base. It also opens up adoption channels through Revolut’s retail and institutional customer base.

“Joining forces with Revolut reinforces our mission to embed privacy at the foundation of tomorrow’s financial systems,” said Josh Hawkins, EVP of Strategy, Policy & Communications. “By treating privacy not as a barrier but as a catalyst for innovation and compliance, we’re helping to ensure that blockchain continues to evolve as a tool for empowerment, and not surveillance. This listing brings us closer to a future where privacy is a core feature, not an afterthought, in the global financial stack.” 

Together with Revolut, the Aleo Network Foundation is working to implement privacy-first blockchain technology, aiming to achieve mainstream adoption across European markets.
