Revolut is planning a stablecoin launch to compete in a market that is dominated by Tether and Circle.

The stablecoin launch will not be Revolut’s first foray into the world of crypto. The firm announced the launch of a dedicated crypto exchange Revolut X in May. Revolut also started offering virtual crypto payment cards in August to help users pay through digital assets.
