What happened
Ireland Bars Crypto From State Savings Scheme Targeting $203B in Deposits Decrypt Agent Mon, August 31, 2026 at 8:10 PM GMT+9 2 min read Crypto will have no place in the tax-advantaged savings accounts Ireland is preparing to open to every adult in the country. Tánaiste and Minister for Finance Simon Harris set out the shape of the scheme on Sunday in a video posted to Instagram, saying he wanted the accounts to "make a real difference in building up your own economic resilience." Savers will be able to hold shares, bonds, funds, exchange-traded funds and insurance-based products, according to reports. Crypto assets are excluded, along with derivatives and interest-bearing cash.
