CoinJar Europe Limited (C496731) is authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland to provide crypto-asset services across the European Economic Area (EEA) under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR).
MiCAR, refers to a new regulatory framework from the European Union designed to protect cryptocurrency users and create clear rules for crypto companies.
This authorisation, effective as of 9 December 2025, confirms our long-term commitment to operating safely, transparently and in full compliance with European Regulations.
As an authorised Crypto-Asset Service Provider (“CASP”), CoinJar Europe Limited can continue to compliantly provide the following crypto services under Article 3(1)(6) MiCAR:
- Custody and administration of crypto-assets on behalf of clients
- Exchange of crypto-assets for funds
- Exchange of crypto-assets for other crypto-assets
- Transfer services for crypto-assets on behalf of clients
What This Means for Your Account
Wallets
Your crypto is being stored in segregated wallets – This means your funds are held separately in CoinJar Europe Limited’s dedicated wallets rather than in our global wallet system. This provides additional protection and regulatory compliance, ensuring your assets are clearly separated from company funds.
Stablecoin Updates (USDC)
USDC sends are temporarily disabled – Under MiCAR’s strict stablecoin requirements, stablecoins pegged to fiat (like USDC) are defined as e-money tokens. CoinJar is currently not licensed to provide transfer services in respect of e-money tokens.
This means we cannot currently offer USDC withdrawals to external wallets. You’ll see a warning about this during the purchase process.
USDC deposits remain active – This means you can still transfer USDC into your CoinJar wallet from external sources.
So to summarise: you can buy, sell, and exchange stablecoins on CoinJar, and transfer them into your CoinJar wallet, but you cannot send them out to external wallets at this time.
