Soon after announcing a partial delisting of certain digital assets from its platform, Revolut took a decision to suspend all crypto services for U.S. users, the firm said in a statement to Cointelegraph on Aug. 4.


Together with its U.S. banking partner, Revolut will work to suspend access to crypto through its platform starting Sept. 2. The firm will then completely shut down crypto services on Oct. 3, a spokesperson for the online bank said, adding:“The access to cryptocurrencies through Revolut will be fully disabled and US customers will no longer be able to buy, sell, or hold any cryptocurrencies.”


The Revolut representative emphasized that the decision to leave the U.S. market will impact “just 1%” of the company’s global crypto customers. The representative also stressed that Revolut will continue to operate its non-crypto business in the United States.


“This decision has not been taken lightly, and we understand the disappointment this may cause,” the spokesperson noted.


Crypto customers in the U.S. will soon find all relevant information regarding the suspension in the email communication from Revolut. “Our dedicated support team is available to address any concerns and questions our U.S. crypto customers may have via our in-app chat,” the statement added.
