Abstract

Trust Wallet, owned by Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao, has partnered with Revolut to enable direct crypto purchases for users in Europe. The integration allows buying Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana with a minimum purchase of €10 and a daily cap of €23,000. While stablecoins like USDC are not yet supported, the feature supports multiple fiat currencies with zero transaction fees. However, funding a Revolut account may incur charges. The move follows Revolut’s recent regulatory approval under MiCA and its $75 billion valuation.

Trust Wallet, the self-custodial crypto wallet owned by Binance co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, has partnered with European fintech unicorn and digital banking giant Revolut to introduce a new way to purchase crypto assets on its platform.

Trust Wallet users can now buy Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and Solana (SOL) with Revolut through a direct integration, the company announced on Thursday.

With a minimum purchase starting at 10 euros ($12) and capped at 23,000 euros ($26,950) daily and per transaction, Trust Wallet’s new buy option is expected to provide a faster and easier way to access crypto from Europe.

In October, Revolut scored regulatory approval from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission to offer crypto services across 30 European Economic Area markets in compliance with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) framework.

Stablecoins like USDC not supported, for now

The integration will initially support only three crypto assets, but the companies said they expect to add stablecoins such as Circle’s USDC (USDC) at a later stage.

The feature enables zero-fee crypto purchases using multiple fiat currencies supported by Revolut, including the euro, the British pound, as well as the Czech koruna, Danish Krone, Polish Złoty and others.

While Revolut–Trust Wallet crypto purchases are offered with zero fees, adding money to a Revolut account is not free of charge in many cases, including via bank transfers, card top-ups and cash deposits. Cash deposits are subject to a 1.5% fee and are limited to $3,000 per calendar month, according to Revolut’s FAQs.

The integration came shortly after Revolut secured a $75 billion company valuation after completing a private share sale in late November. “This makes us Europe’s most valuable private company and in the top 10 of the world’s most valuable private companies,” Revolut said in a post on X.

CZ-backed Trust Wallet has been actively tapping into trending market sectors, including prediction markets and real-world asset tokenization, expanding access to these offerings for self-custody users.

Cointelegraph contacted Revolut and Trust Wallet for comment on the integration, but had not received a response by publication.

Phantom taps Kalshi to offer regulated prediction markets in wallet

Cryptocurrency wallet Phantom has partnered with regulated prediction market Kalshi to integrate event-based trading directly into its wallet interface. The new feature, Phantom Prediction Markets, will allow users to trade tokenized positions on real-world events in politics, economics, sports, and culture without leaving the app. This move aligns with a broader trend, as major crypto exchanges like Gemini and Coinbase are also entering the prediction market space. However, the industry faces regulatory challenges, exemplified by Connecticut's recent cease-and-desist orders against several platforms, including Kalshi, which is now legally challenging the state's actions.

Bitcoin's Creator Has Not Appeared Publicly for Exactly 15 Years. Where Did Satoshi Disappear To?

Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, has been absent from the public eye for exactly 15 years, with his last known communication dating back to April 26, 2011. His final public forum post on December 12, 2010, addressed a DoS attack on the Bitcoin network. Shortly before disappearing, he privately corresponded with early developers, informing them he had "moved on to other things" and that Bitcoin was in good hands, specifically naming Gavin Andresen as the lead developer. His withdrawal is speculated to be linked to Andresen's planned talk about Bitcoin at the CIA headquarters. Satoshi's true identity remains one of cryptocurrency's greatest mysteries. Numerous theories exist, ranging from him being an individual to a group, or even a project by the CIA. Several individuals, including cryptographers Hal Finney and Nick Szabo, have been proposed as candidates, but all have either denied it or remained silent. Some speculate he may be deceased. The mystery is fueled further by the immense wealth potentially held by Satoshi. Research based on a unique mining pattern, dubbed "Patoshi," suggests he may have mined approximately 1.1 million BTC, worth over $100 billion at current prices. This was possible due to minimal mining competition and a high coin emission rate in Bitcoin's early days, when it could be mined on a regular laptop. The network's computational power has since grown by over 10 billion times.

How Does x402 V2 Enable Autonomous Payments for AI Agents?

The x402 protocol, initially developed by Coinbase, leverages the HTTP 402 status code to embed payment logic directly into web requests. The newly released V2 upgrade introduces significant improvements to address limitations in cross-chain support, scalability, identity authentication, and repeated payments experienced in V1. Key enhancements include: - **Wallet Identity and Reusable Sessions**: Supports wallet-based authentication (e.g., Sign-In-With-X via CAIP-122), allowing reusable sessions after initial payment. This reduces latency and costs for high-frequency use cases like AI agent tasks and LLM inference. - **Unified Payment Interface**: Enables multi-chain payments (e.g., Base, Solana) and compatibility with traditional systems (ACH, SEPA, credit cards) via Facilitators. Dynamic payTo routing allows context-aware pricing and complex market structures. - **Modular Architecture**: A plugin-driven SDK simplifies integration, supporting easy expansion to new chains and payment methods without core changes. Multi-Facilitator support automates optimal payment path selection based on preferences. - **Automatic Discovery**: Services can expose metadata for automatic synchronization, ensuring real-time pricing and availability updates without manual intervention. For end-users, V2 enables seamless, subscription-like access with reduced friction. Developers benefit from flexible, low-maintenance payment integration and dynamic pricing models. AI agents gain autonomy to make economic decisions, such as purchasing API calls or compute resources independently using allocated budgets. x402 V2 evolves from a pay-per-use tool into a versatile economic layer, though challenges like ecosystem adoption, modular risks, and regulatory uncertainty remain.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Trend and Investor Sentiment Suggest a Bullish December

Bitcoin (BTC) is showing signs of a potential bullish December, challenging a decade-old bearish seasonal pattern where November losses typically extend into year-end declines. Key factors supporting this shift include reduced leverage, with open interest dropping from $94 billion to $60 billion, and Bitcoin’s price reclaiming its monthly volume-weighted average price (rVWAP), indicating controlled distribution. Liquidity dynamics have also shifted, with deep liquidity clusters moving upward, and around $3 billion in short positions set to liquidate near $96,000. Market structure diverges from historical cycles due to spot ETF inflows, introducing constant structural demand and accelerating price discovery. Analysts note that Bitcoin’s four-year cycle, while not obsolete, is no longer time-aligned, resembling extended accumulation phases like mid-2016 or late-2019. Macro liquidity (M2) growth has plateaued, creating a late-cycle environment where risk assets rally despite underlying economic softening. Supporting indicators, such as CNY/USD and ETH/BTC correlations, along with improving PMI data and gold’s relative strength, suggest continued risk-on momentum rather than cycle fatigue. While buy-sell ratios show urgency, analysts caution this may reflect positioning squeeze rather than sustainable accumulation. Overall, December’s performance may depend more on structural forces—ETF flows, liquidity rotation, and shifting macro correlations—than traditional halving-driven周期 patterns.

SEC Approves Tokenized Securities—DTCC To Establish Blockchain Standards

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the DTCC to develop a securities tokenization program. Its subsidiary, the Depository Trust Company, will establish standards for recording ownership of stocks, ETFs, and Treasuries on blockchain. This initiative aims to launch a pilot program in the second half of 2026. As the core of U.S. financial infrastructure, the DTCC processes quadrillions in transactions annually and will now define objective technology standards for tokenization. While it won’t mandate a specific blockchain, it will maintain a list of approved networks that meet its criteria. This move is expected to shape the future of tokenized securities globally, including decisions on approved blockchains and token data inscription requirements.
