Özet

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.

Robinhood CEO named three benefits of tokenized stocks for American investors

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev advocates for the U.S. to allow trading of tokenized stocks domestically. He argues this model could modernize the financial system through three key benefits: **faster, near real-time settlements** reducing counterparty risk and broker capital requirements; **24/7 trading** enabling reaction to market events anytime; and **greater asset portability**, allowing tokens to be moved between platforms and held in self-custody wallets, increasing competition among services. Tenev emphasized tokenization is about rebuilding asset ownership infrastructure for freer movement, similar to information online. He highlighted potential integration with DeFi, where tokenized stocks could be used for lending or as collateral. Currently, Robinhood's stock tokens are not direct ownership of the underlying securities but are backed by them and provide access to economic value like dividends; their structure may evolve with future regulations. Tenev identified outdated securities laws and market infrastructure, developed over a century, as the main U.S. obstacle, urging regulators to adapt rules for blockchain while preserving investor protections. He warned it would be strange if the rest of the world could build the future of ownership around U.S. assets while Americans are left behind, suggesting tokenization could later expand to private company shares and other illiquid assets.

OpenAI Publishes 4+10 Lifesaving Guidelines Specifically to Prevent AI Automated Attacks

OpenAI President Greg Brockman warns that advanced AI agents can now autonomously discover security vulnerabilities and execute real-world cyberattacks, as demonstrated in a recent Hugging Face security incident. In response, OpenAI is implementing a four-pronged defense strategy: using Codex to secure code entry points, employing AI for initial security alert triage, proactively identifying potential attack paths, and reinforcing foundational security practices. Brockman urges defenders to act swiftly by integrating cutting-edge AI into their security workflows. He outlines a three-step approach: first, equip security teams with AI agent tools tailored to their systems; second, embed AI into the development pipeline for automated code review and patch generation; and third, gradually build a comprehensive autonomous security operations system. The blog emphasizes that no single organization can withstand these evolving AI-powered threats alone. Brockman calls for industry-wide collaboration, advocating for sharing proven vulnerability discoveries, fixes, and operational playbooks to transform isolated defenses into a collective security ecosystem. The goal is to ensure AI becomes a shield for defenders, not just a weapon for attackers, by accelerating defensive capabilities to match the pace of technological advancement.

Arthur Hayes takes CEO role at Flop Labs ahead of Q4 airdrop

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, has come out of retirement to become the CEO of Flop Labs. The company is developing a network where AI agents will use its native FLOP token to pay for computing and inference services. Hayes announced plans for a "massive airdrop" of the FLOP token in Q4 2026, ahead of the network's genesis block launch in early 2027. He stepped down as BitMEX CEO in 2020, and the exchange recently announced it will shut down in September 2026.

Web3 Wallets in a 'Turbulent Autumn': In the AI Era, How to Understand the Evolution of 'Spear and Shield' in Crypto Security?

The recent spate of incidents involving Coldcard, Trezor, and SafePal highlights a critical evolution in cryptocurrency wallet security, moving the focus beyond simple private key protection to a holistic, multi-layered attack surface. These events—spanning a random number generator flaw, supply chain data leaks, and plugin permission issues—underscore that vulnerabilities now exist across the entire wallet lifecycle: from secure element and code generation to logistics, user data, and daily interactions with dApps. This broadening threat landscape is accelerating with the advent of AI. Attackers are leveraging AI to automate and scale previously labor-intensive tasks like vulnerability discovery, sophisticated social engineering, and targeted phishing campaigns. This effectively lowers the cost of attacks, eroding the security margin once provided by the high effort required to find and exploit flaws. In response, defense strategies must also evolve by integrating AI. The future of wallet security lies not just in static rules and blacklists, but in proactive, AI-powered risk assessment. This includes pre-transaction simulation, behavioral analysis to detect anomalies (like sudden large approvals), and contextual awareness of dApps and counterparties. The goal is to transform wallets from passive signing tools into active guardians that can understand intent, predict outcomes, and clearly communicate risks to users—all while preserving user sovereignty and control through minimal permissions and human confirmation for critical actions. Ultimately, self-custody does not guarantee inherent safety; it returns absolute control to the user. Protecting that control requires a dynamic, evolving security posture where AI becomes a essential tool on both sides of an ongoing "spear and shield" arms race in the Web3 ecosystem.
