Italy Implements Comprehensive Crypto Regulatory Framework Under MiCAR by 2025

Italy has formalized its cryptocurrency regulatory framework in alignment with the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR), establishing clear guidelines for investor protection, transparency, and stablecoin oversight. The Italian government extended the registration deadline for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) from June to December 2025 via Decree 95/2025, signaling measured adoption of compliance timelines.

Taxation and licensing regimes now reflect global standards, with the Garante data authority clarifying privacy consent requirements for crypto-related marketing. This structured approach positions Italy as a progressive yet regulated jurisdiction for digital assets, balancing innovation with consumer safeguards under the broader EU regulatory umbrella.
