Revolut Crypto Trading Hits Glitch Amid Google Cloud Outage
Current overview (not historical)
Revolut’s crypto and stock trading services were partially unavailable on 20 Oct 2026 after a Google Cloud outage in London. The disruption caused customer portfolios and balances to temporarily disappear, but the company confirmed that the issue was due to the cloud service failure and that blockchain networks and funds remained safe. Revolut acknowledged the problem and assured users that no funds were lost and that the underlying blockchain infrastructure was unaffected. The incident highlights the vulnerability of fintech platforms to third‑party cloud providers, even though the company’s own security and fund safety mechanisms were not compromised.
