“CoinJar’s decision to choose Ireland as its European hub is a further vote of confidence in our fintech sector. It is proof that the Government’s Ireland for Finance strategy delivers real results, and this will continue with the next Ireland for Finance strategy which I will publish in the coming months. The opportunity in digital assets has been raised consistently as part of my Department’s consultations on this upcoming strategy, and we must ensure this opportunity is realised. Ireland offers firms like CoinJar a strong regulatory landscape, which gives the wider digital assets sector the confidence to innovate and grow.”

Niall Carson, CEO of CoinJar Europe, said:

“Ireland offers an exceptional blend of talent, connectivity and a clear regulatory pathway. Establishing Dublin as our European hub positions us to serve customers across the EU
while building on CoinJar’s decade-plus track record of reliable, compliant digital asset services.”

Denis Curran, Head of Emerging Business in IDA Ireland said: ‘’I want to congratulate Niall Carson and the team at Coin Jar on receiving its Crypto Assets Services Provider (CASP) authorisation from the Central Bank of Ireland and on the establishment of its European Hub in Ireland. The decision by Coin Jar to establish its European Hub in Ireland is a welcome endorsement of Ireland’s growing Digital Finance sector and as a leading location in Europe for regulated financial services. I wish Coin Jar every success with their future growth in Europe.’’

CoinJar believes that 2026 will mark a turning point for cryptocurrencies, as the industry continues to mature into a trusted part of the global financial system. Clearer regulation, stronger infrastructure, and more responsible innovation are driving greater confidence among consumers and institutions alike. What began as a niche technology is increasingly becoming a reliable, accessible, and well-governed financial alternative.
