Revolut users got a shock Thursday morning when the app displayed Bitcoin at $0.02. The glitch, reported widely on social media, showed the flagship crypto trading at two cents instead of its real-world price around $67,000. The error didn't touch actual exchange markets — it was a display bug, confined to Revolut's own interface.
What users saw
Screenshots circulating on X and Reddit showed Bitcoin priced at $0.02 on Revolut's buy/sell screen. Some users said the number flashed for a few seconds before returning to normal. Others reported seeing the wrong price for longer. A few said they tried to buy at the bottom, but orders either failed or executed at market price — not the hallucinated one.
Revolut hasn't commented on the root cause yet. The glitch appears to have been a data-feed or display-layer issue, not a real pricing problem. The broader crypto market showed no unusual movement during the same window.
Why it didn't spread
The fact that Coinbase, Binance, and other major exchanges all reported normal Bitcoin prices confirms the problem was platform-specific. That's a relief for anyone worried about a flash crash or exchange hack. Glitches like this happen in fintech from time to time — a bad API call, a cached value, or a misconfigured UI component can produce these phantom prices.
Still, the timing isn't great for Revolut. The company has been pushing deeper into crypto services this year, rolling out staking for UK customers and a dedicated crypto trading tab. A display error that spooks users — even temporarily — doesn't help that narrative.
Revolut has not issued a formal statement as of Friday morning. Users who still see incorrect prices are advised to force-close the app and reopen it. The underlying market never moved a cent.
