Revolut USD Stablecoin (RUSD) Pre-launch Stablecoin Tracker

Pharos can still tell you how this asset is supposed to work, when it expects to launch, and what sources to watch. Live market, peg, liquidity, and safety surfaces activate only after the first post-launch data sync.
Full launch status and history
Companion to the already-tracked RGBP (Revolut GBP). Revolut secured a MiCA CASP licence from Cyprus (CySEC) on Oct 23 2025 and operates an existing EMI licence in Lithuania, the legal foundations for issuing e-money tokens under MiCA Title IV. In October 2025, Revolut launched fee-free 1:1 USD↔stablecoin swaps (USDC/USDT on Ethereum, Solana, and Tron) for its 65M users; stablecoin payment volumes on the platform surged 156% in 2025 to ~$10.5B. In February 2026, the FCA selected Revolut as one of 4 firms (from 20 applicants) for a UK stablecoin payment testing pilot, though that sandbox is specifically for a GBP token, not USD. Revolut received a full UK banking licence from the PRA (Mar 11 2026) and filed an OCC national bank charter application for Revolut Bank US, N.A. (Mar 5 2026, targeting a 2027 US launch with built-in stablecoin access). Revolut's stablecoin programme shipped on August 26 2026, but in euro rather than dollars. EURR launched on Ethereum in a phased rollout to Denmark, Poland, and Portugal, with Solana, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, Injective, TON, and Sui support planned, alongside the removal of Tether's USDt from Revolut's European retail offering by August 31 2026. Critically, EURR is issued by Bridge Building S.A., the Luxembourg entity of Stripe-owned Bridge, with Revolut Digital Assets Europe authorised through CySEC. Revolut's Lithuanian EMI was not the issuer of record, contrary to earlier reporting. That correction matters for RUSD: the nearest live precedent for a Revolut dollar token is a third-party MiCA issuer relationship rather than in-house EMT issuance. On September 2 2026 the OCC granted preliminary conditional approval for Revolut Bank US, N.A. (Corporate Decision #1390), with opening targeted for the first half of 2027; the decision records that the bank plans to offer Revolut-branded stablecoins through a third-party issuer and will not manage reserves, matching the Bridge template used for EURR. A Revolut-branded USD stablecoin still has not been confirmed, and its ticker, chain selection, issuer entity, and reserve disclosure model all remain unannounced. Pharos moved the expected launch to 2027 on September 13 2026 on the strength of the OCC timeline.

OCC conditionally approves Revolut Bank US; stablecoins to be issued by a third party
OCC Corporate Decision #1390 grants preliminary conditional approval to charter Revolut Bank US, N.A., subject to at least $95M paid-in capital, FDIC insurance, and Federal Reserve approval; management targets opening in the first half of 2027. The decision states the bank plans to offer Revolut-branded stablecoins through a third party, will not be the issuer, and will not manage any reserves, limiting its role to marketing, access, and custody via Revolut Ltd.
SourceRevolut completes removal of Tether USDt from its European retail offering
Revolut finishes the phased withdrawal of USDt for European retail customers that began in July 2026, coinciding with the EURR rollout and leaving MiCA-compliant tokens as the euro-stablecoin option on the platform.
SourceRevolut launches EURR euro stablecoin issued by Stripe's Bridge, not its Lithuanian EMI
Revolut ships the first token of its stablecoin programme as the euro-denominated EURR on Ethereum, phased to customers in Denmark, Poland, and Portugal with wider EEA availability planned later in 2026. The token is issued by Bridge Building S.A., the Luxembourg entity of Stripe-owned Bridge, under MiCA, with Revolut Digital Assets Europe authorised through CySEC, correcting the prior assumption that Revolut would issue e-money tokens from its own Lithuanian EMI. Support for Solana, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, Injective, TON, and Sui is planned, and Revolut applies no spread or fee on euro-to-EURR conversion. No USD-denominated equivalent was announced.
SourceRevolut confirms its planned US national bank will offer stablecoin services alongside FDIC-insured accounts
Reuters reports Revolut Bank US, N.A. (OCC charter applicant) will offer stablecoin services alongside FDIC-insured products from day one, though own-issuance of a Revolut USD token remains unconfirmed; the USD path continues to run through the Lithuanian EMI / MiCA EMT route.

SourceRevolut Dollar Precedent From EURR
Revolut's USD stablecoin is still unannounced, and the August 2026 launch of its euro sibling made the shape of any dollar token considerably clearer, mostly by invalidating the assumption everyone was working from. The legal substrate looked settled: a MiCA CASP licence from CySEC in October 2025, plus Revolut's Bank-of-Lithuania EMI supplying the e-money-token issuer foundation MiCA Title IV requires. Then Revolut shipped EURR on August 26 and the issuer of record turned out to be Bridge Building S.A., the Luxembourg entity of Stripe-owned Bridge, under a CSSF licence, with Revolut Digital Assets Europe merely distributing. Revolut, holding every licence it needed to issue in-house, chose to rent the issuance instead. That reframes RUSD: the nearest live precedent for a Revolut dollar is a third-party regulated-issuer relationship, which trades balance-sheet control and reserve-disclosure ownership for speed to market. The US path now has a regulatory document behind it: on September 2 2026 the OCC conditionally approved Revolut Bank US, N.A., with opening targeted for the first half of 2027, and the decision records that the bank will offer Revolut-branded stablecoins through a third party, will not be the issuer, and will not manage reserves. That is the EURR template written into a charter, and why Pharos now carries 2027 as the expected launch. Ticker, chain, issuer entity, and reserve and disclosure model for a USD token all remain unannounced, with rights sitting behind whichever issuer Revolut rents next.
