Today, we are thrilled to announce that the Central Bank of Ireland has approved MoonPay Technology Services Limited’s application for registration as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) to provide the activity of exchange between virtual assets and fiat currencies. 

In an increasingly digital world, MoonPay has always been driven by the mission to simplify the way people purchase digital assets. As a part of that mission, we have continued to actively engage with regulators around the world to help shape thoughtful regulation that both protects consumers and fosters innovation. We are firm in our commitment to protecting our users against financial crime, fraud, and cyber threats, all while ensuring a positive user experience.

Since its inception, MoonPay has been steadfast in our resolve to protect our customers from financial crime, fraud, and cyber threats, while ensuring a seamless experience on our platform. Ireland’s dynamic technological and financial landscape provides an exciting opportunity for us to uphold these values.
