Revolut fixes third-party error behind Bitcoin $0.02 scare
Revolut has addressed a glitch caused by a third-party data provider that briefly displayed false cryptocurrency prices on its app on Friday, May 8. During the incident, screenshots shared by users showed Bitcoin priced at just $0.02. This incorrect pricing lasted only briefly before returning to normal levels. One user attributed the problem to a display error, a liquidity issue, or an order-book error. Revolut publicly addressed the matter. It assured users that engineers were working to fix the glitch. Later, a Revolut representative confirmed that the situation had been rectified . The spokesperson attributed the issue to an unidentified third-party pricing provider. The firm is still investigating what happened. Dave Flowman contended the incident was just a glitch, not a real crash. Although the chart showed the price dropping 50%, Flowman insisted it was just a display error. He also noted that the failure of Revolut’s app included other cryptocurrencies. Flowman is popular in the crypto industry for reporting on market glitches. Revolut encounters a significant glitch on its platform Revolut has over 70 million users globally. These users spotted simultaneous price declines for XRP , Solana, and stablecoins like USDC and USDT. Stablecoins are designed to maintain a consistent $1 valuation. Screenshots users shared on X and Reddit showed a sudden 50% drop in Bitcoin’s 24-hour chart. The price declined to around $39,900 before a swift rebound. Some users received false notifications that BTC hit a 52-week low of $0.02. An example of these users is Jordan Kerridge, known online as That Martini Guy, who described the situation as a perfect buying opportunity. The initial glitch occurred at roughly 23:45 UTC on May 8. At this time, Bitcoin traded at $0.02 on Revolut’s platform but traded close to $79,000 on major exchanges. This pricing reflected 99.99997% error. Ethereum also showed incorrect pricing below $2,200, while Solana was displayed around $85 and XRP near $1.25. All these prices were significantly below market value. This problem appeared only on Revolut’s platform. The price alerts triggered a false fire alarm in Europe. Users were worried because they watched their portfolios vanish. Revolut quickly acted. The firm promised it would rectify the issues. It also asserted that no trades were ever finalized at those wrong prices. Revolut did not disclose the third-party provider that caused the problem. *]:pointer-events-auto [content-visibility:auto] supports-[content-visibility:auto]:[contain-intrinsic-size:auto_100lvh] R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" dir="auto" data-turn-id="request-69ffb20d-0ca4-83ea-815f-dfc8889eca21-3" data-turn-id-container="request-69ffb20d-0ca4-83ea-815f-dfc8889eca21-3" data-testid="conversation-turn-22" data-scroll-anchor="false" data-turn="assistant"> Once the glitch was fixed, prices on the platform normalized immediately, with Bitcoin returning above $80,000 and Ethereum climbing back above $2,300. These movements were purely reflective of corrected data feeds rather than any real market recovery, as underlying crypto prices remained stable throughout the incident. Revolut’s internal safeguards appeared to function as intended, filtering out clearly erroneous pricing and preventing trades from being executed at unrealistic levels. This distinction helped contain what could have otherwise escalated into a serious financial incident. Analysts claimed that the lack of trades at those wrong prices is very significant. They believe that Revolut’s systems are designed to prevent major financial disasters. Bitcoin’s recent price fluctuations raise concerns among investors In a broader market context, Bitcoin has rocketed 30% since the beginning of the U.S. war in Iran (with two massive shocks now hurtling toward the Bitcoin price). The price of Bitcoin remains well below its 2025 peak of around $126,000 per coin, even as U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has suggested that China may be secretly accumulating Bitcoin. Now, as traders anticipate a potential shift in White House Bitcoin policy, billionaire investor Ray Dalio has warned that the U.S. dollar may be under structural pressure. JPMorgan Chase analysts are increasingly favoring this digital asset over gold for navigating post-war currency devaluation. As of May 10, Bitcoin is trading at $80,718.20, up 0.66% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap . If you're reading this, you’re already ahead. Stay there with our newsletter .

Bitcoin Open Interest Explodes Beyond 2025 All-Time High Levels
Bitcoin is seeing an explosive rise in Open Interest, with derivatives activity now surpassing peak session levels recorded during the 2025 all-time high. This explosive growth reflects rising trader participation and increased leverage that is often seen during periods of heightened anticipation for major price moves. As positions rise across futures and perpetual markets, the spike in open interest points to a market gearing up for volatility. Can Bitcoin Sustain Momentum With Leverage Rising This Fast? Bitcoin is experiencing its strongest Open Interest expansion of 2026, with derivatives actively now surpassing even 2025’s all-time highs. A verified CryptoQuant author, known as Darkfost on X, has noted that the BTC market remains heavily driven by futures. Data shows that BTC’s recent bullish momentum has been driven largely by a steady return of investors to the derivatives markets. Related Reading: Bitcoin Supply Shock: 100,000 BTC Vanish From Exchanges In Under 90 Days Despite funding rates remaining broadly negative for weeks, open interest has recorded its strongest increase since the beginning of 2026. What makes the move particularly notable is that the current increase in open interest is already larger than the expansion seen during BTC’s previous ATH formation. Major platforms like Binance continue to dominate the majority of capital in the segment, reportedly accounting for approximately 34% of total market share, with a monthly average surging to around $2.5 billion on May 5. Meanwhile, a similar trend is also visible across other exchanges, such as Gate.io, which has a record of $1.75 billion, and Bybit, with a record of $1.15 billion. According to Darkfost, comparing the more defensive market conditions seen earlier in the year, the latest data shows optimism is gradually returning to the market, encouraging traders to increase their risk exposure. The growing dependence on leverage also introduces fragility into the market structure. Thus, leveraged positions are rarely built to last longer, and their liquidation could significantly amplify volatility and the risks associated with the market. Why Holding Above Current Levels Is Critical For Bitcoin Bulls The Bitcoin price is currently in a critical retest phase after successfully breaking above the previous highs earlier this week. A crypto trader known as Max Trades on X noted that this level is acting as a key support zone, and holding above it is essential for buyers to sustain momentum and push the broader uptrend price higher.

However, a breakdown back below the retest zone would weaken the bullish structure and likely shift market focus toward the next major liquidity area between the $75,000 and $76,000 zone. This region remains one of the most significant liquidity downside targets if support fails. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP Whale-Retail Spread On Binance Falls To 2024 Levels — What’s Happening?
The XRP price remains range-bound as it has been over the past couple of weeks. As of the time of writing, the XRP price has appreciated by 1.86% over the past day, yet it has been unable to break above the $1.60 resistance. However, despite this apparent inertia, a notable shift is occurring on Binance, the world’s leading crypto exchange by trading volume. Related Reading: XRP’s Biggest Holders Just Stopped Sending Tokens to Exchanges: Last Time Was November 2021 Binance Whale Vs Retail Spread Falls To 88% In a QuickTake post on CryptoQuant, analyst Amr Taha shares an update for the XRP market on the Binance exchange. The relevant indicator in this scenario is the XRP Binance Whale vs Retail Spread metric. For context, the metric measures the difference between large, whale-sized outflows and smaller, retail-sized ones on Binance. By extension of this primary function, the metric is used to tell if the market’s activity is more driven by its whales or by its retail traders. In the Quicktake post, Taha reveals that the Whale vs Retail Spread metric has fallen to approximately 88.8%, marking one of the weakest readings the indicator has shown since 2024. The crypto expert notes that, while the current reading is still quite positive, it still cannot be ignored that it has dropped significantly from its past highs of around 94%. Interestingly, periods where the spread was above 94% often reflect stronger retail activity. When retailers (one of the most reactive investor groups) are increasingly making transactions, it paints a parallel picture of growing speculative activity. Historical trends show this adds to XRP’s bullish price behavior. Related Reading: 14,600 Bitcoin Sold in Profit in One Day: Here Is How BTC’s Own Structure Broke It Below $80K What Declining Whale-Retail Spread Means For XRP Price Taha further states that, from a market-cycle perspective, the gap between current readings and the earlier 94%+ zone is widening. This suggests that the outflow patterns on Binance are increasingly deviating from those typically observed in retail-driven markets, especially near cycle tops. Nonetheless, this is not necessarily a bearish signal for XRP, as it only implies that the market would lose some retail speculation and the strength it often brings. Hence, if macro conditions remain stable, the XRP price might only see some mid-term weakness, not enough to trigger a bearish cycle. As of press time, the XRP price stands at $1.41, up 2.28% over the past 24 hours. Featured image from Dreamstime, chart from Tradingview
