Revolut Reintroduces Crypto Staking in Hungary Amid Renewed Regulatory Compliance

Fintech giant Revolut has resumed offering crypto staking services in Hungary, marking a return to expansion after previously scaling back digital asset services in certain European markets. The move comes after adjustments to local compliance frameworks and aligns with the EU’s evolving regulatory landscape under MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation), which aims to standardize crypto operations across member states.

Revolut had previously limited some of its crypto offerings in countries like France, Germany, and the U.K., primarily due to uncertainty surrounding local regulatory expectations. In Hungary, the reintroduction of staking gives users the opportunity to earn passive rewards on supported tokens by participating in network validation processes. The firm emphasized that staking is available only for eligible coins and within the scope of Hungarian crypto regulations.

This revival signals Revolut’s intent to maintain a leading role in Europe’s crypto space, even as the broader fintech sector faces pressure to reconcile innovation with compliance. The company is actively adapting its crypto products in response to MiCA, which is set to fully come into force across the EU in 2025. Hungary, where the central bank has recently stepped up oversight on crypto-related activity, appears to be an early beneficiary of Revolut’s more tailored, regulation-compliant offerings.

By re-enabling staking in Hungary, Revolut may be testing the waters for re-entry into other previously limited jurisdictions. As one of the few fintechs combining banking and crypto functionality in a single app, Revolut’s moves are closely watched as bellwethers for how the industry might evolve in the coming post-MiCA environment.
