Revolut has obtained a MiCA license in Cyprus and will launch a new crypto platform
Revolut neobank has obtained permission to work with digital finance under the European MiCA regulation. The license was issued by the Cypriot financial regulator CySEC. It allows the service to legally provide digital asset services in all 30 EU countries.
The company also announced the launch of an improved version of its crypto platform, Crypto 2.0, which will offer users:
-
More than 280 coins and tokens.
-
The ability to stake without commissions (up to 22% per annum).
-
Direct exchange of stablecoins to USD at a 1:1 ratio.
Company representatives noted that obtaining a license from the Cypriot regulator confirms a high level of compliance with legislation, and MiCA rules create clear and stable conditions for the development of Revolut crypto services in Europe.
The neobank is not yet fully operational in Ukraine, but you can exchange cash dollars to Revolut USD, as well as withdraw electronic euros into cryptocurrency through ObmenAT24.
Trump drops charges against Binance founder Changpeng Zhao: BNB responds with growth
US President Donald Trump issued a pardon for Changpeng Zhao, who created and headed the Binance crypto exchange for six years. Analysts suggest that this move will help the trading platform regain its presence in the US market.
An official White House statement said that Trump had "restored justice" and used his authority to end "the political war against the crypto industry started by his predecessor, Joe Biden."
Zhao, as well as the current head of Binance, Richard Teng, thanked Trump for his support, noting that this is a significant step toward the development of the crypto industry and legal integrity. Not everyone in the crypto community shared this enthusiasm, as in 2024, Zhao pleaded guilty to violating anti-money laundering laws by allowing Binance to be used by terrorist organizations.
The former head of the exchange served four months in prison and paid a $50 million fine. Binance permanently removed Zhao from management, but he remains its largest shareholder with a stake of about 90%.
After the news of the pardon, BNB token rose by almost 8%. As of October 27, 2025, the cryptocurrency's price is $1,155.
Trust Wallet now allows trading futures with up to 100X leverage
Trust Wallet has introduced a new feature — trading perpetual futures (perps) directly in the app. Users can now open trades on the rise or fall of token prices with up to 100X leverage.
Perps allow you to trade without owning the asset, making them a convenient tool for experienced and novice traders alike. The new feature is powered by the Aster DEX decentralized exchange — all transactions are conducted on the blockchain via smart contracts, without intermediaries and without the need for KYC (identity verification).
To get started, select the "Swap" tab, then "Perps," make a deposit, and open a position to go long or short. BSC, Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Solana networks are supported, and Trust Wallet Token (TWT) holders will receive discounts on commissions.
Previously, such tools were available to professionals and centralized exchanges, but now, Trust Wallet is opening up futures trading to millions of users. However, the developers remind us that leveraged trading is associated with high risk, as strong market fluctuations can result in the loss of the initial deposit.
OpenSea restarts its business and announces its own SEA token
NFT marketplace OpenSea has announced its transition to a multi-chain aggregator format. Now, the platform allows trading not only NFTs but also any cryptocurrencies, including memecoins, on 22 blockchains without passing KYC.
How does it work?
-
OpenSea collects offers (orders) to buy and sell cryptocurrencies from other DEX exchanges (Uniswap, Meteora).
-
When a marketplace user initiates a transaction, it is actually executed on one of the trading platforms where the best price is available.
-
OpenSea charges a 0.9% commission for its intermediary services.
According to CEO Devin Finzer, the company changed its strategy due to declining interest in NFTs. The market shrank by 90%, and revenue fell from $125 million to $3 million per month.
OpenSea is also preparing to launch its own SEA token, which is scheduled for the first quarter of 2026. Half of the tokens will go to the community, and 50% of the revenue from the launch will be used for buybacks to support the price.
In Finland, crypto farms have started to heat residential buildings
In Finland, the heat generated by installations for mining cryptocurrencies has been applied in a new way — it is now used to heat homes.
Hashlabs, Terahash, MARA, and MinersLoop mining companies have connected their crypto mining centers to municipal heating networks. Heated water from the cooling systems of ASIC miners (special devices for mining cryptocurrencies) flows directly into the heating mains and is used for heating.
Hashlabs already provides heat to a city with a population of about 50,000 and plans to launch a sixth farm. According to industry estimates, miners in Finland already help heat the homes of about 140,000 residents of the country.
Local experts note that mining cannot be considered exclusively wasteful in terms of energy. Modern installations are capable of heating water to approximately 70 °C, and excess heat can be used not only for heating rooms but also for drying wood or heating swimming pools.
