Crypto.com, one of the world’s largest crypto trading platforms, announced on June 11 that it had received VASP approval in Ireland. The approval allows Crypto.com to expand its offering in the country, including crypto-to-fiat exchanges and fiat wallets.


Crypto.com’s president and chief operating officer, Eric Anziani, said the approval shows the company’s commitment to compliance and responsible innovation.


“We are excited to broaden our offering in Ireland, enabling consumers to engage with the most comprehensive crypto product offering,” the exec added.

In obtaining the approval, Crypto.com joins  several crypto firms regulated by the country’s central bank, including the United States-based crypto exchange Coinbase.


The full list of registered VASPs in Ireland features 14 entities as of June 7, including major industry firms like Ripple, the Winklevoss brothers’ Gemini exchange, MoonPay, Standard Chartered’s Zodia custody platform, Paysafe and others.An excerpt from the list of VASPs approved by the Central Bank of Ireland.

Seven companies on the list received approvals in Ireland in 2023. In 2024, the CBI approved four others, including Foris DAX Global, Fortuna Digital Custody, Ramp Swaps and Crypto.com.Some crypto firms opted to leave Ireland


The Central Bank of Ireland’s approval of Crypto.com marks another milestone in the country’s growing interest in the crypto industry.


Coinbase, the largest crypto exchange in the U.S. by trading volumes, selected Ireland as its European crypto hub in late 2023.


Coinbase chose Ireland to help it comply with Europe’s major cryptocurrency regulatory framework, the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation.

Other major companies, including Ripple and Gemini, have also been cementing their presence in Ireland while facing issues from U.S. regulators.


On the other hand, Circle Internet Financial — the company behind the world’s second-largest stablecoin, USD Coin (USDC) — announced plans to return to the U.S. and move away from Ireland in May 2024.
