Revolut users received false BTC $0.02 alert


Revolut users were sent alerts indicating bitcoin had fallen to $0.02 and reached a 52-week low earlier today, according to reports.

What happened

Users reported receiving push alerts that listed bitcoin pricing at an unusually low value, while market feeds and exchanges showed normal levels.

Charts for SOL, XRP and other cryptocurrencies displayed aberrant ticks or labels, suggesting the issue affected multiple asset pages in the application.

  • BTC
  • SOL
  • XRP
  • Other cryptocurrencies reported by users

Scope and likely cause

The pattern of misreported prices and consistent timestamps suggests a user-interface bug or a data-mapping error rather than market movement, analysts say.

Revolut's status page and official support channels did not show immediate alerts about outages at the time of reporting.

Impact and responses

If balances were not affected, customers would have seen only erroneous notifications while exchange quotes remained unchanged, limiting financial harm.

Regulators and market surveillance tools monitor such incidents because faulty pricing displays can trigger inappropriate trading or automated responses in other systems.

What to watch

Watch for an official statement from Revolut confirming whether the alerts were erroneous and whether any corrective software update has been deployed.

Users experiencing issues should contact Revolut support and avoid executing trades based solely on push notifications until the platform confirms normal pricing.
