<a href="http://cryptoknowmics.com/news/xrp-technical-analysis-amidst-sec-lawsuit-ripple-enters-bearish-trend">Ripple</a>, a U.S.-based cryptocurrency payments network, is <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/18/crypto-startup-ripple-seeks-license-in-ireland-to-drive-eu-expansion.html?" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">seeking</a> regulatory clearance in the Republic of Ireland to penetrate the European market. According to the company's general counsel Stuart Alderoty, Ripple is seeking a virtual asset service provider (VASP) license and already has two workers in the country, a member of the <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/eu-commission-issues-proposal-for-study-of-automated-defi-supervision">European Union (EU)</a>.
<h2>Digital Currency License in Republic of Ireland</h2>
Due to its continuing legal dispute with the <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/australian-securities-exchange-drops-blockchain-based-clearing-system">US Securities and Exchange Commission</a>, which is accusing the business of breaking securities law by selling the <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/xrp-technical-analysis-despite-declining-ripple-displays-bullish-momentum">XRP coin</a>, Ripple has moved its focus to nations outside the US. Before Ripple requested for a digital currency license in Ireland, the business had previously partnered with organizations in Sweden and France.

Despite having many workers in the United States, Alderoty told CNBC that the company's clients and income are essentially all generated elsewhere. According to Alderoty, once the exchange receives this Irish license, Ripple aims to passport its operations throughout Europe. Additionally, it will submit a request for an electronic currency license in Ireland.
<h2>MiCA To Create Licensing System</h2>
Due to the EU's strides in industry regulation, cryptocurrency companies have been choosing to enter the market. The <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/mica-text-approved-by-eu-council-proposal-goes-to-parliament">Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA)</a> law, which covers a wide range of topics and aims to create a licensing system that would let businesses operate across all 27 of the EU's member states, will be voted on in February.
