Uniswap Labs Integrates Revolut as Direct On‑Ramp for ETH and USDC

Published: 2025-12-02 20:45:28 |

Uniswap Labs has integrated Revolut as a direct fiat on‑ramp inside the Uniswap web app and mobile Uniswap Wallet, allowing Revolut users to buy Ethereum (ETH) and USD Coin (USDC) within the Uniswap interface. Purchases can be paid with a Revolut balance or linked debit card and are delivered directly to users’ Uniswap Wallets, removing the previous multi‑step flow of funding external exchanges and connecting wallets. Benefits include faster access to assets, lower onboarding friction, and potential user growth from Revolut’s ~35 million customers. Limitations include regional availability, account‑tier transaction limits and fees set by Revolut, and regulatory constraints that may affect rollout in some jurisdictions. The integration is a partnership rather than an acquisition; Uniswap remains a decentralized, community‑governed protocol. For traders, easier access to ETH and USDC inside Uniswap could increase retail inflows into Uniswap liquidity and trading activity, though actual usage will be shaped by fees, limits and local regulation.

Bullish

Simplifying fiat‑to‑crypto onramp for Revolut’s large user base increases the likelihood of additional retail inflows directly into Uniswap wallets and liquidity pools. Easier access to ETH and USDC inside the Uniswap interface reduces onboarding friction and can boost on‑chain swap volumes and decentralized exchange activity. In the short term, this may translate into increased buy-side pressure for ETH and higher USDC conversions as users acquire these assets to trade or provide liquidity. Over the longer term, broader adoption of seamless onramps tends to support sustained demand for core assets (ETH) used for trading, gas and DeFi participation. Downside constraints — regional availability, Revolut account limits, fees and regulatory hurdles — will cap the effect and may slow adoption, keeping the impact moderate rather than extreme. Overall, on balance the news is bullish for ETH (and supportive for USDC utility) due to anticipated incremental retail inflows.
