<p>The fuss is allegedly around the possibility of the Italian state slapping the heavy fines on the people who are responsible for cryptocurrency market manipulation. As per the first part of the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/italy-boosts-crypto-risk-oversight-toughens-sanctions-draft-shows-2024-06-20/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reuters draft </a>decree covering the alleged regulations, a fine of €5,000 which can go up to €5,000,000 ($5,400 to $5.4 million) might get imposed on people for various wrongdoings like insider trading, unauthorized disclosure of inside information, and market manipulation.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="regulation-and-lid-by-bank-of-italy-and-consob">Regulation and Lid by Bank of Italy and Consob</h2> 
<p>It has already been drafted that the Bank of Italy and the stock market watchdog Consob will be the major overseers of the new cryptocurrency activities to take place in Italy. Along with other tasks, their <a href="https://btc-pulse.com/bitopro-local-bank-open-crypto-friendly-taiwan/">main </a>job will be to maintain financial stability and let crypto markets function properly. Through the adoption of this measure, Italy once more confirms its resolve to keep its financial system safe from the dangers posed by the cryptocurrency sector.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="attention-to-stablecoins-and-legal-framework">Attention to Stablecoins and Legal Framework</h2> 
<p>In the beginning of 2023, the Bank of Italy from its side emphasized how important the sometimes risky but the whole nevertheless resilient silicon verifiable markets were and that regulation to be passed in reference to that. This regulation envisions a situation such that if investments flee banks into crypto, the latter can still remain operational. The agency encourages the identification of stablecoin issuers which, in turn, will also qualify with their DeFi affiliations. The region shall stimulate about $26.7 billion in investment.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="readiness-for-the-eu-s-mica-regulation">Readiness for the EU’s MiCA Regulation</h2> 
<p>The Central Bank of Italy has also <a href="https://www.bis.org/review/r230206a.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unveiled the launch of a special control environment scheme </a>to be put in place for the future Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) which is part of the new EU standards for the crypto industry. Through this force, it is expected to improve the regulatory and oversight aspects of the cryptocurrency market throughout the European Union.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="current-crypto-holdings-in-italy">Current Crypto Holdings in Italy</h2> 
<p>In spite of regulatory upgrades, it still is unclear whether the supervisory machinery has been fully applied. Throughout this time, Ignazio Visco then the governor of the Bank of Italy, came to the<a href="https://www.bis.org/review/r230206a.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> conclusion that surveys showed </a>only around 2% of Italian families held quite small sums of crypto. Furthermore, the level of the exposure of the Italian financial intermediaries to the crypto market was shared to be very limited indeed.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2> 
<p>The enacted law is a great move of Italy to safe-guard the sovereign as well as the strong regulatory stance on cryptocurrency. By imposing heavy fines to market manipulation and other associated crimes, Italy aims at establishing a safer and more stable financial environment that is friendly to both the citizens and investors.</p>
