Gibraltar has authorised a new Revolut subsidiary to provide regulated digital-asset services, adding another financial-services activity to an economy long associated with online gaming. The permission covers order execution, custody and staking, but it does not announce an immediate launch in any specific market.
The Government of Gibraltar said Revolut Global Digital Assets Limited received permission under Part 7 of the Financial Services Act. The regulated activities include transmitting and executing virtual-asset orders, safeguarding those assets and providing staking services.
The announcement came alongside the full resumption of onboarding for Gibraltar residents to Revolut's payments app. The government said the outcome followed work between the company, the territory's trade ministry and the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission.
In its company announcement, Revolut positioned the new entity as part of its international crypto strategy. The group already serves the UK through Revolut Ltd and the European Economic Area through a separate entity operating under the EU's MiCA framework.
Independent payments coverage notes that the company has not identified the target regions, products or launch dates for the Gibraltar subsidiary. The permission therefore establishes a regulatory vehicle rather than confirming that every authorised service is already available.
Gibraltar expects three DLT permissions to be issued during the week, according to its statement. That figure signals continuing regulatory activity but does not identify the other applicants.
