Revolut users across the globe got a shock Friday when Bitcoin appeared to crash to $0.02 on the fintech app's chart. The glitch, which lasted only a few seconds, showed BTC candles dropping as low as $0.019916 — while the real market price sat above $80,000 on every major exchange. Screenshots captured similar anomalies for Solana and XRP, and some users even received push alerts claiming Bitcoin had hit a 52-week low.
What users saw
The in-app chart briefly displayed Bitcoin at roughly two cents, far below the actual market rate. CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap showed no matching price action throughout the episode. Revolut Support confirmed technical issues affecting some crypto functionalities and said engineers were investigating. The disruption was short — most affected accounts saw the correct price snap back within seconds.
No orders filled at glitch price
Despite the dramatic display, no user reports have confirmed any orders actually executing at the $0.02 level. That's a relief for Revolut's 68 million customers across 40 markets. The company holds a MiCA license through Cyprus and has been expanding its crypto footprint, including stablecoin settlement on Polygon, even after delisting some altcoins last year.
Timing matters
The glitch hit on a softer trading day for Bitcoin. The leading crypto nearly slipped below $80,000 after a correction that triggered almost $300 million in futures liquidations. So while the $0.02 chart was a phantom, it arrived when nerves were already frayed. Revolut hasn't said yet whether the bug was on its end or a third-party data feed, and hasn't committed to a fix timeline beyond the investigation.
For now, Revolut Support is asking users to report any lingering issues. The company hasn't said whether it will compensate users who were alarmed or inconvenienced. The bigger open question: how did a chart error this big slip through? Revolut runs a regulated operation under MiCA — regulators may want answers before the next glitch shows up.
