Changelly and StealthEX both publish their terms — this page compares them line by line for Ireland. On the numbers both platforms publish, StealthEX takes this one for most Ireland users: StealthEX lists more assets (2000 vs 1000). That verdict is mechanical — lower published entry-tier cost and broader published coverage win rows, and ties stay ties.

Changelly and its counterpart are lined up on the same published rows below — entry-tier costs, verification, coverage, and local availability — with the winning cell decided by the published number alone, re-checked on July 31, 2026. Where a platform does not publish a figure, the row says so instead of guessing, because an unpublished number is a real answer about transparency too. Use the availability row first if you are signing up from Ireland: a cheaper venue that cannot legally take your registration is not cheaper.

Each check below names the platform whose published number wins that row outright, using the values re-verified on July 31, 2026. Changelly and its rival keep their source links in the last row, so any cell can be audited in one click before you commit funds — and if a provider stops publishing a value, the row flips to "not published" on the next re-check rather than staying frozen.

Using Changelly or StealthEX from Ireland

MiCA Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) authorisation from the Central Bank of Ireland; authorisation is required for a CASP to operate in the EU. How money actually reaches the order book here: SEPA euro bank transfers — Ireland is a euro-area SEPA participant, so exchange deposits and withdrawals in euro run over SEPA credit transfers. SEPA Instant Credit Transfer (SCT Inst) offers near-real-time euro crediting, so funded exchanges can receive Irish bank deposits within seconds rather than business days. On tax treatment in this market: Irish Revenue applies no special crypto tax rules: for individuals, gains on disposal of crypto-assets are treated under Capital Gains Tax like other assets, with the standard annual personal exemption.
