NVentures, NVIDIA’s venture capital division, reportedly increased its exposure to the financial sector by acquiring an estimated stake of about US$ 196 million in Revolut. The information was disclosed after corporate records in the United Kingdom indicated the purchase of 141,834 shares in the fintech, reinforcing the company’s interest in businesses that combine technology and cryptocurrencies.
The estimated value of the stake considers the share price used in Revolut’s most recent funding round. Although the calculation indicates an investment close to US$ 196 million, neither NVIDIA nor the fintech officially disclosed the amount invested or details of the transaction.
The move comes at a time when Revolut continues to raise its market valuation. In June, information emerged that the company was considering a secondary share sale capable of raising its value to approximately US$ 115 billion. The estimate exceeds the US$ 75 billion valuation recorded in November 2025, when the fintech received backing from investors such as Coatue, Greenoaks, Dragoneer, Fidelity, and NVentures itself.
Unlike a traditional fundraising round, the transaction studied by Revolut would allow shareholders and employees to trade their stakes, without the company issuing new shares or raising additional capital.
In addition to the appreciation, the fintech has also been accumulating important regulatory advances. The company recently obtained a full banking license in the United Kingdom and is still awaiting review of its application to operate as a bank in the United States. If the authorization is granted, the company may expand its offering of financial services, including credit and loans.
Another important step occurred in the Middle East. Revolut received preliminary authorization from the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), in Dubai, to obtain a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license. Final approval still depends on additional regulatory steps.
Once the process is completed, the company will be able to offer regulated cryptocurrency brokerage, investment, and exchange services in the United Arab Emirates. The operations will be offered through both Revolut’s main app and the Revolut X platform, expanding its international presence in the crypto segment and consolidating its growth strategy in regulated markets.
