Revolut Bank just rolled out full Solana integration. Users can now handle SOL payments, execute transfers, and participate in staking—all natively within the app.



This isn't just another token listing. We're talking about a mainstream fintech platform with millions of active users building direct rails into the Solana ecosystem. The infrastructure play here matters more than the headline. When traditional banking apps start embedding L1 functionality like this, it signals a shift in how normies will interact with crypto.

Payments and transfers are obvious use cases, but the staking option is interesting. It lowers the barrier for retail participants who wouldn't otherwise run validators or hunt for staking platforms. Seamless UX could drive actual adoption beyond speculation.

Solana's been positioning itself as the high-throughput chain for payments and consumer apps. Partnerships like this validate that narrative. Whether it moves the needle on SOL price is secondary—the real story is infrastructure maturation and user accessibility.

Bro, this is really happening—mainstream banking apps are directly integrating L1. This is just wild. Revolut really played a strong hand here. Millions of users are onboarding directly—can SOL even go down now? Simply put, the infrastructure is mature now; regular people finally don't have to mess around with all that complicated stuff. I'm a bit surprised by the staking part—it could really attract a bunch of small retail investors. Price fluctuations are secondary; the key is that the user experience is finally on point. This is the real big event, not just some news about a coin price crash. Solana has finally proven itself—those past controversies are all meaningless now.

Revolut is integrating Solana, so now regular people really don’t have to jump through hoops to use crypto anymore... But to be honest, whenever this kind of news comes out, SOL’s price increase is never as big as people imagine. Let’s wait and see the actual usage data.

ngl the staking composability here is what gets me. revolut's basically lowering the merkle tree of friction for retail validators—that's the real design pattern win

Revolut’s move is indeed interesting from a data perspective. Just calculate the user conversion rate and you’ll see... Out of millions of active users, how many can actually be converted to real Solana interactions? I bet it’s less than 5%. But on the other hand, staking is lowkey a killer for capital efficiency, saving users the cost of hunting for platforms themselves. This TPS advantage is truly Solana’s moat.
