Revolut, the London-based fintech company, has seen significant stock offloading by its staff and early investors, totaling nearly $1 billion since August 2024.

The stock was sold in multiple tranches, valuing the company at approximately $45 billion. Notably, founder Nik Storonsky reportedly realized between $200 million to $300 million in the first round of this stock sale. Additionally, Revolut is set to expand its operations in Italy, aiming to serve four million customers by 2025. The company has positioned itself as a leading player in the fintech sector, with statements likening it to 'the Apple of banks' by its executives. In related news, Upvest, a stock trading API utilized by Revolut, recently raised $105 million.
