In a significant move towards integrating artificial intelligence with cryptocurrency trading, Revolut has unveiled its latest feature on Revolut X, enabling users to trade efficiently using AI assistants such as Claude, Gemini, OpenClaw, and Cursor. This innovative approach allows users to interact with their trading accounts through natural language, simplifying the trading process.
With the new feature, users can request portfolio summaries, access live market data, set custom price alerts, and execute both market and limit orders—all without directly accessing the Revolut X app. This development opens the door for over 300 tokens available on the platform, enhancing the trading experience for both novice and experienced investors.
The initiative started as an internal experiment when Revolut engineers connected Claude to the Revolut X API in just 30 minutes. This swift connection led to the establishment of a working market-making workflow covering essential aspects such as inventory management, quoting, execution, monitoring, and alerts.
The underlying technology is based on Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), launched in November 2024, which builds on the existing trading API of Revolut X. Additionally, Revolut has created a GitHub repository that supports universal installation for over 50 AI applications, further expanding accessibility with a command-line interface for users on different platforms.
Leonid Bashlykov, head of product for crypto at Revolut, highlighted the benefits of AI integration, stating, “AI agents provide us with much faster workflows, smarter execution, and tighter integration with the tools we use daily to trade.” This reflects the growing trend of utilizing AI technology to enhance trading efficiency.
In practical terms, users can articulate their trading strategies in plain text. For instance, by requesting a backtest of a Bitcoin grid strategy over the past 90 days, they can receive historical performance data, risk measures, and optimization results. Furthermore, users can set up notifications via Telegram for specific crypto price targets, all done through conversational prompts, eliminating the need for manual configuration.
It is crucial to note that Revolut mandates users to review and approve every order before execution, ensuring that they maintain control over their trades. The company has also clarified that it will not be liable for any losses or errors resulting from AI tool usage.
The crypto services provided by Revolut are managed by Revolut Digital Assets Europe Ltd., which operates under the licensing of the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission in compliance with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations. With over 75 million retail customers and more than 16 million crypto users, Revolut continues to expand its influence in the crypto space.
This move aligns with a broader trend in the cryptocurrency sector. Earlier this year, Gemini introduced agentic trading, allowing users to connect to AI applications like Claude and ChatGPT on a regulated U.S. crypto exchange. Other platforms, such as Liquid and Robinhood, have also announced plans to implement AI-driven trading solutions.
Revolut X, initially launched in May 2024 as a desktop-only platform for UK users, has seen rapid expansion, reaching 30 European markets by November 2024 and introducing a mobile app for UK and EEA users in March 2025. In a related development, Revolut has announced plans to delist Tether’s USDT in Europe by August 31, 2026, in accordance with the EU’s MiCA regulations.
