Two ex-Revolut employees raised funds to develop Bleap, a self-custodial stablecoin app.
Users can spend stablecoins directly via a Mastercard debit card with no conversion fees on Bleap.
Two former Revolut employees have secured $2.3 million in
pre-seed funding to build Bleap, a self-custodial stablecoin app with an
accompanying debit card.
Meanwhile, Revolut is expanding its crypto platform, Revolut
X, to 30 additional European Economic Area markets, providing access to over
200 tokens. The company is also strengthening its mergers and acquisitions
team, indicating a potential focus on business acquisitions.
Bleap Supports Multi-Currency Accounts, Savings
The funding round valued Bleap at $10 million before
investment and was led by Ethereal Ventures, with participation from Maven11,
Alliance DAO, Robot Ventures, and angel investors from Revolut, Phantom, and
Consensys.

Bleap offers a self-custodial wallet integrated with a
Mastercard debit card, enabling users to spend stablecoins without conversion
fees. The app supports multi-currency accounts with savings rates significantly
higher than traditional banks.
Users can add stablecoins from external wallets
or purchase them using fiat. It also allows fee-free crypto on- and
off-ramping. Since funds are stored directly on the blockchain, users maintain
24/7 access to their assets.
Founded by Joao Alves and Guilherme Gomes, both ex-Revolut
employees, Bleap is incorporated in the UK and Poland and is registered as a
Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) in the EU. The app is in beta testing
with select European users, with a full public launch expected in Q1 2025.
“We wanted an app that combines blockchain’s power with the
best of banking,” said Alves, who previously led Revolut’s Card Programme.
Revolut X Cryptocurrency Exchange Expands Across EEA
As reported by Finance
Magnates, the exchange provides users access to over 200 digital tokens
with competitive pricing, including zero fees for limit orders and a 0.09% fee
for market orders.
