The company wants to make Ireland its European headquarters and has established a team and operation in Dublin. It intends to get authorized as a Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) under the Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA).
To become a licensed CASP under MiCA—the European Union’s bespoke rules for crypto—a company needs to have a registered office in an EU member state where it carries out some of its business and has a resident director.
Many crypto companies like crypto exchange Coinbase have secured a license in Ireland. In October, Coinbase said that it wanted Ireland to be its EU hub because it has a supportive environment for fintech companies.
Crypto exchange Kraken also secured an e-money institution license in Ireland in September, and standard chartered-backed Zodia Market gained registration in Ireland in October.
