What Is a CASP Registration?

A CASP (Crypto Asset Service Provider) registration is a legal requirement for any business providing services related to virtual assets in Ireland. This includes crypto exchanges, wallet providers, and other platforms dealing with cryptocurrencies.

Who Needs to Register as a CASP in Ireland?

You must complete a CASP registration if your business operates in any of the following capacities:

  • Crypto-to-crypto or fiat-to-crypto exchange
  • Custodian wallet provider
  • Services enabling the transfer or safekeeping of virtual assets

Failure to register before operating may result in significant penalties or enforcement action by the Central Bank.
