Revolut Connects AI Agents to Crypto Trading on Revolut X

Revolut has announced an integration between its crypto exchange, Revolut X, and external AI assistants, letting users issue trading commands in natural language instead of clicking through a trading interface. The company becomes the latest major fintech player to open its platform to agentic trading, joining Coinbase, Robinhood and Gemini.

What the assistant can do

The new feature lets Revolut X users analyze portfolio performance, check real-time prices, set price alerts and manage investment positions by typing plain-language commands instead of navigating the exchange's traditional interface. The AI assistant can also place market and limit orders and manage positions that are already open.

The feature isn't limited to Revolut's own assistant. The company has enabled connections to external tools, including Anthropic's Claude, Google's Gemini, OpenClaw and Cursor, and users of other AI platforms can connect through publicly available skills posted on GitHub or through a command-line interface, without writing any integration code of their own.

Human oversight on orders

Revolut stresses that the mechanism keeps the user in control: every buy or sell order requires final approval, a safeguard meant to prevent an agent from executing crypto trades on its own, without the account holder's knowledge.

At the same time, the company has made clear it does not endorse or guarantee the performance of third-party AI tools connected to Revolut X, and it accepts no liability for losses, missed investment opportunities or faulty trades resulting from AI mistakes. That legal disclaimer is becoming standard across the industry as more financial platforms hand off part of their trading decisions to language models.

A fintech platform race

The launch fits into an accelerating trend toward agentic trading, in which AI doesn't just answer questions about the market but actually acts on a user's account. With this move, Revolut joins Coinbase, Robinhood and Gemini, which had already rolled out similar features on their own crypto platforms.

For Revolut's users in Poland, who number in the millions, the new feature means they can manage crypto investments by talking to an AI assistant instead of manually working through charts and trade forms. At the same time, cybersecurity experts warn that linking financial accounts to external AI agents introduces new risk vectors, particularly around unauthorized account access or a model misinterpreting a user's commands.

The requirement that a human approve every transaction is meant to be the main safeguard against the worst consequences of such errors, though it doesn't eliminate the risk that a user acts on a flawed recommendation from the AI assistant itself.
