Overview

Cryptoasset businesses operating from Ireland need to assess the applicable EU MiCA framework, any transitional position and the Central Bank authorisation requirements for their specific cryptoasset services.

This is a regulatory project rather than a simple company registration. Coutts Consultants coordinates irish virtual asset service provider / mica regulatory coordination as a defined Irish professional service.

The engagement begins with the client's objective and a service-specific review of cryptoasset services, MiCA perimeter, transitional status, governance, prudential resources, safeguarding/custody, AML, ICT and Central Bank engagement. We then establish the appropriate route, assemble the required information and coordinate the filing, application or professional work with the relevant Irish authority, institution or specialist. Where Irish law reserves the work to a solicitor, tax adviser, auditor, immigration practitioner or other regulated professional, that work is undertaken by an appropriately qualified provider.

Registrations, licences, permits, banking and regulatory approvals remain subject to the decision of the relevant authority or institution.
