James McAuslan, Global Head of Prime Services and Head of Securities for EMEA, also commented on the news: “The approval from the Central Bank of Ireland serves to enhance our custodial and clearing capabilities, whilst strengthening our product ecosystem and geographical relevance in one of the EU’s leading financial centers. StoneX Digital is vital to our global expansion strategy as institutional clients increasingly seek exposure to digital assets. We look forward to growing our Prime Services offering across digital and traditional assets globally to better serve the needs of our customers.”
