A €5m investment backed by IDA Ireland will help create the company’s European HQ.
Cryptocurrency player CoinJar will create 30 Irish jobs over the next two years as part of a €5m investment to establish its new European hub in Dublin.
With support from IDA Ireland, the Australian-founded asset exchange company will be hiring for highly-skilled Ireland-based roles to work with its established London and Melbourne operations.
“Ireland offers an exceptional blend of talent, connectivity and a clear regulatory pathway. Establishing Dublin as our European hub positions us to serve customers across the EU while building on CoinJar’s decade-plus track record of reliable, compliant digital asset services,” said Niall Carson, CEO of CoinJar Europe.
Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Peter Burke, TD said: “This announcement reflects Ireland’s growing reputation as a leading location for innovative fintech and digital asset companies.
“Their expansion demonstrates the confidence that global firms place in Ireland’s talent base and the strong support provided by IDA Ireland.”
Department of Finance Minister of State Robert Troy, TD described the investment as “a further vote of confidence in our fintech sector”, noting that Ireland’s “strong regulatory landscape” encourages interest from digital assets companies such as CoinJar.
The new Dublin hub will service European individuals and institutions following the company’s finalised approval by the Central Bank of Ireland last month.
Denis Curran, head of emerging business at IDA Ireland, said the investment was “a welcome endorsement of Ireland’s growing digital finance sector and as a leading location in Europe for regulated financial services”.
CoinJar has around 800,000 users globally and has processed billions of dollars in cryptocurrency and digital assets since its founding in 2013, according to the company.
The company believes 2026 will see its niche become further established as a part of the global financial system through better regulation, innovation and infrastructure.
