1. Exact URL of the Official Public Registry
The official public registry for searching licensed/registered VASPs/CASPs in Ireland is the Central Bank of Ireland's Firm Search tool, which covers all regulated financial service providers including VASPs registered for AML/CFT purposes.[1][4][6]
https://registers.centralbank.ie/(S(atb1s1eysq1bdt45cyzep0nm))/FirmSearchPage.aspx[6]
2. Official Name of the Registry or Register
The official name is the Register of Authorised Firms, maintained by the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI), containing individual registers for all financial service providers including VASPs.[4][9]
https://www.centralbank.ie/regulation/how-we-regulate/authorisation/register-of-authorised-firms[9]
3. Type of License or Registration Required
VASPs established in Ireland require VASP registration with the CBI for AML/CFT purposes under the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Acts 2010 to 2021.[1][4]
Emerging CASPs under MiCAR (Regulation (EU) 2023/1114) require CASP authorisation from the CBI.[2]

4. List of the Top 20 Licensed/Registered VASPs/CASPs in Ireland
Search results do not provide a complete official list of the top 20 VASPs/CASPs with full details (entity name, registration/license number, date, status). The CBI's Firm Search requires interactive querying by firm name or filters, and no exhaustive public extract is included here.[1][6][9] Recent third-party reports indicate ~22-25 registered VASPs (as of late 2024/early 2025), with 11 MiCA-compliant CASPs, but lack comprehensive details or ranking criteria (e.g., by assets, volume).[3][6] One example is provided below from available data; users must query the official registry directly for the full, current list.
| Entity Name | Registration/License Number | Date of Registration/License Grant | Current Status | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Payward Global Solutions Limited (Kraken) | 9845003D98SCC2851458 | Not specified | Active (MiCA-compliant CASP) | [8] https://www.esma.europa.eu/sites/default/files/2024-12/CASPS.csv |
Notes:
- No "top 20" ranking exists in sources; lists are unranked.[6] https://thebanks.eu/list-of-vasps/Ireland[6]
- For complete/current data, use the Firm Search with VASP/AML filters.[6]
- A third-party PDF reports 22 VASPs as of Q4 2024 but lacks extractable details here.[web:3 from DuckDuckGo]
