Coinbase Gets E-Money License In Ireland, Expanding European Foothold
Coinbase is expanding its European foothold with an e-money license from the Central Bank of Ireland.
On Oct. 11, Zeeshan Feroz, the CEO of the United Kingdom arm of San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, announced that the exchange had become “one of just a few companies,” to have received an e-money license in Ireland.
Coinbase opened its first office in Dublin, Ireland, in October 2018 to help expand its operations in Europe and as a contingency plan for when the U.K. leaves the EU.
