Revolut Demystifies Crypto Earnings with Fee-Free Tezos Rewards

Revolut has eliminated all fees on Tezos (XTZ) delegation rewards for its users, passing 100% of on-chain earnings directly to customer accounts. The fintech giant announced the change as part of an updated auto-delegation feature, aligning with the Tezos ecosystem's ongoing simplification of network participation following the Rio protocol upgrade, which reduced staking cycles to one day. This move positions XTZ as a standout option among Revolut's 13 cryptocurrencies offering native earn features, with rewards accruing automatically to user balances while maintaining liquidity. The platform's decision underscores a strategic focus on accessibility, as users no longer need to navigate validator processes or adjust settings to benefit from staking.

The shift coincides with Revolut's broader expansion in crypto services and regulatory compliance. In November 2025, the company secured a $75 billion valuation through a secondary share sale led by investors including Coatue, Fidelity, and NVIDIA's venture arm. The valuation, a significant jump from its $45 billion valuation in 2024, reflects strong financial performance, with $4 billion in 2024 revenue and $1.4 billion in pre-tax profit. Revolut has also obtained a Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) license, enabling crypto services across the European Economic Area, and partnered with Polygon Labs to facilitate cross-border remittances in stablecoins.

The fintech's growth strategy includes entering 30 new markets and pursuing a full UK banking license, as CEO Nik Storonsky aims to scale user numbers to 100 million globally. CFO Victor Stinga highlighted the valuation as validation of Revolut's "rapid growth and strong profitability" model, emphasizing reinvestment of $13 billion into market expansion. Meanwhile, the Tezos integration exemplifies Revolut's focus on simplifying crypto participation, leveraging the blockchain's delegated proof-of-stake model to automate rewards for users.
