Revolut Blames Third-Party Provider for Bitcoin Pricing Error

Revolut users experienced a temporary disruption today as the platform briefly showed Bitcoin trading near zero. Several users received push notifications and charts showing BTC trading at around $0.02, causing confusion and brief panic among the fintech app’s crypto user base. 

The issue was also flagged by a user on X, who received a notification noting, “BTC reaches a 52-week low. The price of BTC has dropped to $0.02.”

Revolut later addressed the matter, confirming that the anomaly was restricted to price displays and notifications. A company spokesperson told media outlets, “Earlier today, a service disruption at a third-party provider resulted in inaccurate pricing on our platform. We can confirm that this issue has been rectified and pricing is now reflecting the market conditions.”

Glitch didn’t affect trading execution

The issue reportedly originated from a disruption at one of Revolut’s third-party data providers responsible for price feeds. As per the reports and screenshots circulated widely, the pricing appeared in the app for a short period, indicating a glitch, with some users getting alerts regarding a drastic price crash. 

The glitch did not affect trading execution, user balances, or the broader cryptocurrency market. The user funds were also safe and weren’t compromised during the display error. 

Bitcoin continued trading normally around $80,000 at the time of the incident. At the time of this writing, the price of the asset remains around $79,834, being 0.01% low in the past 24 hours and 2.07% up in the past week, according to CoinMarketCap.

The intraday low and high sit at $79,205.22 and $80,447.26, respectively, with a market capitalization of $1.59 trillion. However, the token still remains 36.79% down from the all-time high near $126k reported on October 7, 2025. 

Revolut recently secured full UK banking license

In a separate development, Revolut last month obtained a banking license from the UK financial authorities following the removal of all conditions attached to its use. This marked an end to years of waiting by the fintech firm, which first submitted a banking license application in 2021. 

The financial authorities issued the company with a conditional license in July 2024, permitting it to conduct tests with a few clients. Now that it holds a full license, Revolut will be able to provide full banking services, including deposits, to all its UK clients.

Need for cross-verifying data before trading

As an integrated platform, Revolut relies on various third-party providers for market data, liquidity, and order execution. Interruptions anywhere along this line will have implications for the user experience despite the functioning of the wallet and trading services. 

The disruption was brief as Revolut confirmed that its pricing was restored. It is being said that the company is reviewing how the problem occurred with its third-party provider to ensure such problems do not occur again. The occurrence provides real-life examples of the need for users to double-check information from various sources before engaging in any trade. 

Although the problem was immediately fixed by Revolut, it will contribute to debates over data architecture in the growing crypto-financial sector. At present, all Revolut systems seem to be working as normal. There is nothing for the affected users to worry about as far as their accounts are concerned.
