Bitcoin Plunges Near Zero as Revolut Outage Triggers Selloff
Bitcoin Price Crashes Near Zero on Revolut, Blamed on Third-Party Service Disruption
Revolut users reported an apparent collapse in Bitcoin’s displayed price to near zero, prompting confusion and concern among customers who rely on the app for crypto pricing and trading.
According to the information provided, the incident was attributed to a disruption affecting a third-party service used by Revolut, rather than a broader market move in Bitcoin itself. The issue appears to have been related to data or service availability, which can cause apps to show inaccurate prices or temporary “glitches” in charts and quotes.
Situations like this matter because many retail users depend on a single interface for both price discovery and execution. When price feeds or supporting infrastructure fail, the resulting display errors can undermine confidence, complicate decision-making, and create uncertainty about whether balances, quotes, or trade execution are being reflected correctly.
The episode also highlights a broader structural reality in consumer crypto products: even when a platform is the customer-facing brand, key components such as pricing feeds, trading rails, custody services, or market connectivity may rely on external providers. A disruption in any part of that chain can degrade the user experience and, in some cases, temporarily affect how markets are presented inside the app.
