Revolut's Bitcoin price briefly "flash crashed" to $0.02, suspected to be due to a display or liquidity failure

According to CoinDesk, some Revolut users saw the price of Bitcoin (BTC) briefly drop significantly below global market levels in the app on Friday. The candlestick chart showed that the price plummeted suddenly before quickly returning to normal ranges, with the lowest quote even being captured in a screenshot at around $0.02.

Currently, mainstream exchanges tracked by CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap have not shown similar anomalies, with BTC trading around $79,000 during the same period. Revolut has not yet responded to whether there were actual trades executed at the abnormal price. If there were indeed trades, the platform may need to determine whether it was due to real liquidity matching, quote routing issues, or errors in front-end price display. Industry insiders say that insufficient liquidity depth, temporary withdrawal of market makers, or disruptions in quote sources could all lead to extreme "flash crash" scenarios on a single platform.
