Users of the British fintech platform Revolut witnessed an extreme pricing error on Friday morning when Bitcoin briefly appeared to drop to just $0.019. The anomaly lasted only a few seconds before the price returned to normal levels.
According to BeInCrypto, the glitch affected both the Revolut mobile app and its web version. In Google Chrome, Bitcoin was momentarily displayed at around $73,000, while the mobile app showed the price plummeting to $0.019. Many users received push notifications claiming Bitcoin had hit a 52-week low. Meanwhile, on major cryptocurrency exchanges, Bitcoin continued trading steadily above $80,000 throughout the episode.
Revolut confirmed the issue was caused by “a service failure from a third-party data provider.” The company stated that the problem has been resolved and an internal investigation is underway.
The incident sparked confusion and widespread discussion on social media platforms, with users sharing screenshots of the anomalous price.
Revolut’s support team initially responded by saying the platform was experiencing technical issues affecting some cryptocurrency functions. No actual trades were executed at the erroneous price, and customer funds remained secure.
The Revolut pricing glitch highlights the vulnerabilities that even large fintech platforms face when relying on external data providers. While such incidents typically do not result in financial losses for users, they undermine confidence and serve as a reminder of the operational risks in centralized crypto services.
As digital assets gain mainstream traction, the reliability and accuracy of price feeds become increasingly critical for user trust and platform stability.
