🚨 Revolut CEO Nik Storonsky just put a timeline on one of Europe’s most anticipated IPOs: 👉 “At least 2 years away” (target ~2028) That’s a clear signal: ► not happening in 2026 ► not happening in 2027 ► but very much on the roadmap Why delay? Because Revolut is playing a different game: → As a bank, trust matters more than timing → Public markets = credibility boost → But only when the business is fully ready And they’re using that time strategically: • Latest valuation: $75B (up from $45B in 1 year) • Ongoing secondary share sales to give liquidity (without IPO) • US banking license in progress (key unlock 🇺🇸) • Continued global expansion What this really means: Revolut doesn’t need an IPO right now. They’re building: 👉 scale 👉 licenses 👉 trust Before stepping into public markets. When it happens, this won’t be just another listing. It could be Europe’s biggest FinTech IPO ever. 📷 Source: A Bloomberg interview with David M Rubenstein for an upcoming episode of The David Rubenstein Show: Peer to Peer Conversations:

🚨𝘽𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙆𝙄𝙉𝙂: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen unveiled EU–INC, a new framework that lets you launch a company in 48 hours for under €100 Starting a company across the EU today = 27 legal systems, 60+ company structures 🤯 That might be about to change… The European Commission just introduced 𝗘𝗨 𝗜𝗻𝗰., a new optional corporate framework designed to make Europe actually function like one market. Here’s what stands out: → Set up a company in 48 hours → Cost: < €100 → Fully online, no minimum capital → One single framework across all EU countries → Easier share transfers & fundraising → EU-wide employee stock options (huge for talent) Especially the EU-wide stock option plans, taxed only when employees actually sell (instead of when granted) is huge. This makes it far easier for startups to attract and retain top talent, finally putting Europe closer to the US playbook. Source/More info: In short: This is Europe trying to compete with the simplicity of a Delaware C-Corp 🇺🇸 And honestly… it’s long overdue. For years, European founders had 2 choices: 1. Stay local and deal with fragmentation 2. Move to the US to scale 𝗘𝗨 𝗜𝗻𝗰. is trying to remove that trade-off. If executed well, this could be one of the most important structural changes for European startups in decades. What do you think?

👀 Revolut has rolled out AI voice agents from across the UK and Europe, and the numbers are hard to ignore. What changed? • 8× faster time to ticket resolution • 99.7% successful call completion • 31+ languages, live, native-quality voice • Instant, 24/7 support for 4M+ customers Instead of outsourcing the brain, Revolut kept full control of orchestration, logic, and data, while plugging in best-in-class voice, latency, and compliance (PCI + zero retention). AI agents are no longer just cost-cutting chatbots. They’re becoming front-line CX infrastructure; fast, multilingual, compliant, and deeply integrated with core systems. At scale, voice is back, just powered by AI. What do you think about this feature?

Check this out👇 Unmodified terminal clearing using a standard credit card 🤯 Here's how it works: Colossus tricked standard EMV credit card terminals into signing Ethereum ERC-4337 transactions, bypassing Mastercard and Visa 🤯 Colossus works with existing cards and terminals while settling noncustodially on Ethereum. Colossus vertically integrates the issuing bank, processor, and card network, saving ~1.28-2.65% in credit card fees. This represents a 92.1-96.2% fee reduction compared to traditional networks. Acquirers own the merchant relationship, not Visa. Colossus achieves the same distribution as Visa by integrating directly with acquirers like Fiserv, Elavon, Global Payments Inc., and Worldpay. The Result: A closed loop stablecoin network that works with every existing EMV terminal, providing instant, immutable settlement at a fraction of traditional costs. 📷 Source: joseph.eth
