Revolut has added SUI staking, putting the feature in front of more than 45 million users on its platform. According to Sui’s announcement, users can earn roughly 1.93% APY directly inside the app, monitor lifetime rewards, and use a one-day unstaking period without relying on external wallets or advanced technical steps.
SUI staking moves into a consumer finance app
The key part of the rollout is ease of access. Users can stake SUI through the Revolut interface instead of setting up self-custody tools and handling wallet management on their own. That lowers the entry barrier for people who want staking exposure but have little experience with on-chain products.
Sui presented the integration as a new route for broader adoption. Built by Mysten Labs, Sui is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain focused on speed, scalability, and user-friendly applications. Bringing staking into a digital banking app expands its reach beyond native crypto users and into a wider retail audience already using mainstream financial software.
Price reaction and network growth drew attention
Following the update, SUI traded at $0.9406, up 4.5%. Its market capitalization reached $3.66 billion, a gain of 3.44%. The report noted that the token had faced pressure after the broader crypto crash in 2025 and remained well below its all-time high of $5.35.
At the same time, the network’s on-chain footprint has continued to expand. The article said Sui’s total value locked crossed $2 billion in early 2026, supported by growth in DeFi, gaming, and AI-based applications. In that context, access to staking through Revolut adds a simpler front-end channel while the underlying ecosystem keeps building activity.
The wider PoS staking market keeps growing
The article also placed the launch inside a broader market trend. Proof-of-Stake networks now account for nearly 54% of total crypto market capitalization. Annual rewards across the sector can reach $18 billion, with more than $245 billion locked across crypto networks. Ethereum remains one of the largest staking ecosystems, with over 35 million to 37 million ETH staked and about 960,000 validators, while Solana and Cardano offer higher yields.
Against that backdrop, Revolut’s SUI staking integration shows how consumer finance platforms are starting to package blockchain yield products in a more familiar format. The product does not change how staking works at the network level, but it does shorten the path for retail users who want exposure to PoS rewards.
Lower friction comes with custody and regulatory trade-offs
Staking is often marketed as a passive income strategy, with typical returns in the 3% to 12% APY range, while also supporting network security. The report added that liquid staking models can let users keep assets active in DeFi while earning rewards.
Risks remain in place. Token price swings can offset yield, lock-up periods can restrict access to funds, and slashing, though rare, is still part of the risk profile. Platforms such as Revolut make staking easier to access, but they also add custody risk because users do not control their private keys.
The regulatory side is tightening as well. The article pointed to the EU’s MiCA framework and shifting U.S. policies as forces increasing oversight of crypto services. Validator concentration was also cited as a concern because it can raise questions about centralization and fairness across a network. For Sui, landing inside a large financial app creates a bigger distribution channel while putting custody and compliance issues in clearer view.
