Revolut Expands Retail User Access to RWA Market Infrastructure with RedStone's RED
According to Coin World news, Revolut has given its 60 million users a backstage pass to the revolution of real-world assets (RWA). By listing RedStone's RED token, this fintech giant is enabling retail investors to participate in the oracle network that quietly supports on-chain strategies from BlackRock, Apollo, and VanEck. According to a press release shared with crypto.news on August 13, Swiss-based oracle provider RedStone has ensured that its RED token is listed on the Revolut platform. This marks the first time that a decentralized infrastructure token related to the adoption of real-world assets has been made accessible to a mainstream retail audience. This move effectively positions Revolut's 60 million customers as potential stakeholders in the data layers of tokenized funds and credit products supporting companies like BlackRock, Apollo, and VanEck. RedStone co-founder Marcin Kaźmierczak stated, "So far, the infrastructure powering RWA has largely been invisible to retail. This listing is an important step toward making the data economy behind real-world assets more accessible and participatory." The RED token allows Revolut users to gain direct access to the economic layer behind on-chain price information. Through the Revolut app, customers can purchase RED, stake it to earn rewards, and enhance the reliability of the RWA market in the process. This staking mechanism is not just about earnings; it is also an investment in the infrastructure itself. RedStone has over $8.5 billion in total value across more than 110 chains, and has no recorded downtime, providing credibility to what might seem like an abstract bet. For retail, this could offer an unprecedented opportunity to profit from the growth of RWA without holding the underlying assets. This development comes as Revolut deepens its influence in the global financial sphere. According to the press release, the fintech platform reported $1.4 billion in profits last year and 15 million new users, a surge partly attributed to its aggressive cryptocurrency expansion. With Revolut X and other regulatory-compliant services, the company is positioning itself as a bridge between traditional finance and digital assets.
