Revolut will delist USDT in August, with buys ending July 6 and auto-conversion after Aug. 31, 2026

Revolut has told some users it will remove Tether USDt (USDT) from its crypto offering, citing “regulatory and risk considerations.” For PSPs and high-risk operators, the useful bit is not the headline itself but the mechanics: buying stops first, deposits are cut off later, and any leftover balance gets force-converted into the user’s base currency.

  1. According to a customer notice seen by Cointelegraph, Revolut will stop users from buying USDT starting July 6, 2026, with full delisting scheduled for Aug. 31, 2026.
  2. USDT deposits will no longer be supported after July 30, 2026. After that date, incoming USDT transfers will be rejected, which is the part operators usually care about when they are checking whether a PSP is still open to stablecoin flows or quietly winding them down.
  3. If users do not sell or withdraw their USDT by the end of August, Revolut said it will automatically convert the remaining holdings into the user’s base currency at the day’s exchange rate. That removes the “I’ll deal with it later” option that tends to create support tickets and treasury headaches.
  4. Revolut has not said whether this delisting applies globally or only in specific jurisdictions. It also did not specify which regulation or framework triggered the decision, beyond citing regulatory and risk concerns.
  5. The timing points back to Europe. Revolut received a MiCA license as a crypto asset service provider (CASP) in November 2025, according to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) register, with the license issued by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC). Cointelegraph also noted that exchanges such as Coinbase began delisting USDT in Europe in 2024 to align with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) requirements.

USDT is still the third-largest crypto asset by market capitalization, at $184 billion, behind Bitcoin and Ether. Its closest stablecoin rival, Circle’s USDC, stands at $73 billion and ranks fifth, which is why USDT policy changes still matter whenever a payments stack touches crypto at the edges.
