CoinJar Unlocks European Expansion with MiCA Authorisation

CoinJar has just become a crypto asset gateway for Europe, having received full authorisation from the Central Bank of Ireland as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider under MiCA. 

MiCA (The Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) is the EU's game-changing regulatory framework, one the most ambitious for crypto anywhere in the world. It is designed to protect investors while ushering in blockchain innovation across an entire continent.

This milestone means we are doing more than just continuing our commitment to Irish customers. By establishing our dedicated EU base in Dublin, we are now poised to open our doors to multiple member states and streamline the crypto experience across the continent. One license. One Europe. Infinite possibilities.

Here's what makes our authorisation so powerful: the "passport effect." Traditionally, crypto companies found it difficult to navigate 27 different frameworks across 27 countries. MiCA changes everything. Our single authorisation through Ireland's Central Bank now grants us access to every corner of the European Union and the European Economic Area.

From Melbourne to San Francisco to Dublin

This European leap isn't happening in isolation. Earlier this year, we planted our flag in the United States. Combined with our established presence in Australia and the UK, CoinJar is now global.

Whether you're selling Satoshis in Dublin, buying Bitcoin in Barcelona, or trading Ethereum in Paris, you're backed by rigorous compliance standards and consumer protections that come with MiCA authorisation. 

Over the coming months, we'll be lighting up markets across the continent, bringing the CoinJar experience to millions of new customers. So stay tuned as we go global.
