Section: Regulation

> The permission covers virtual asset orders and custody. Revolut has also reopened account sign-ups for Gibraltar residents.

Gibraltar has granted Revolut Global Digital Assets Limited permission to handle crypto orders, custody and staking, expanding the fintech company’s regulated digital asset activities in the territory.

The Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (GFSC), the territory’s financial regulator, issued the permission under Part 7 of the Financial Services Act. It covers transmitting and executing virtual asset orders, holding those assets in custody and providing staking services.

The permission applies to Revolut Global Digital Assets Limited. It sets out the activities the unit is authorized to conduct under Gibraltar’s distributed ledger technology (DLT) framework. Trading involves handling customers’ virtual asset orders, while custody involves holding assets for them.

Separately, Revolut has fully resumed accepting new Gibraltar residents for its electronic money and payments app. New customers can open accounts and use the company’s payment services.

The crypto permission and renewed account sign-ups expand Revolut’s presence in Gibraltar. The territory expects to issue three additional DLT permissions this week.
