Revolut Adds XYO to Platform, Bringing DePIN Into the Mainstream

Revolut has added support for the XYO token, a move that brings one of the blockchain industry’s oldest and largest DePIN projects to the mainstream fintech audience. Founded in 2018, XYO, which bills itself as the first DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network), is now available to Revolut’s global user base, advancing the vision of networks that connect physical world data to blockchain and AI systems.

XYO’s technology focuses on automated data validation and location verification: the network provides cryptographically provable signals about location, proximity and environmental conditions that can be used to train AI models, coordinate robots, verify asset movements, and add real, trusted context to digital systems. The project says it runs more than 10 million nodes worldwide, which together feed the network with geospatial and event data that supports proof-of-location and proof-of-origin technologies.

Marcus Levin, Co-Founder of XYO, said: “The listing of

High demand for AI-ready data networks

This list comes after a year in which XYO introduced a single layer of blockchain specifically designed to process data so the network can scale without sacrificing performance. This blockchain technology, combined with network mathematical methods to prove that a digital record matches a physical event, is positioned as a way to give AI and automated systems input with higher integrity, an ability that proponents say will become more important as machine learning models require reliable, real-world training data.

Revolut’s decision to list XYO comes against the backdrop of developments in its own business. The company recently completed a fundraising round, which, according to the company, makes it among the most valuable fintech companies in Europe; The round included investments from NVentures, the investment arm of NVIDIA, underscoring Revolut’s growing relationships with investors focused on artificial intelligence and data infrastructure. This combination of fintech distribution and institutional support helps explain why infrastructure tokens with clear real-world utility are increasingly important to major platforms and their users.

XYO has a strong track record of direct-to-consumer offering: its COIN app has introduced millions of users to blockchain concepts by rewarding data validation participation, and its token is already listed on major exchanges including Coinbase, Kraken, KuCoin, and Bitpanda. On the institutional side, XY Labs, the company behind the project, founded the XYO Foundation and became prominent in the regulatory space when it received SEC approval for its Regulation A offering, opening up investing to both accredited and non-accredited investors. In 2022, XY Labs tokenized its shares as $XYLB on the tZERO alternative trading platform, a move that confirmed its operation in the real assets (RWA) space.

For Revolut users, a list simply means there is another token available within a familiar app. However, for the broader DePIN ecosystem, it represents a signal: projects that connect physical infrastructure and verified data to digital services are starting to cross over from niche cryptocurrency circles to mainstream financial rails. It remains to be seen whether this exposure translates into new use cases or broader adoption, but for XYO, the listing is framed as a clear step towards making the infrastructure and token more accessible to investors and ordinary users.
