Regulatory & Compliance Advisory for Cryptoasset Businesses in Italy
At ABM Global Compliance, we deliver specialist regulatory and compliance advisory services to help cryptoasset businesses make sense of these requirements, prepare for regulatory authorisation and sustain suitable compliance arrangements in Italy. At EU level, the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) establishes a harmonised structure for cryptoasset service providers and relevant cryptoasset activities across the European Union.
Supporting MiCA Authorisation, Regulatory Readiness & Sustainable Crypto Compliance
Italy is one of Europe’s leading financial markets and has a well-established regulatory environment for cryptoasset and blockchain businesses. Firms entering or operating in the Italian market need to interpret both Italian supervisory requirements and the European Union’s cryptoasset regulatory arrangement. The Bank of Italy (Banca d’Italia) is a key competent authority for cryptoasset regulation and supervision in Italy.
At EU level, the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) establishes a harmonised structure for cryptoasset service providers and relevant cryptoasset activities across the European Union. Depending on their business model and activities, cryptoasset businesses may also need to address requirements relating to AML/CFT, the EU Transfer of Funds Regulation (Travel Rule), governance and regulatory reporting, where relevant.

Your Questions Answered
Who regulates crypto businesses in Italy?
CONSOB authorises and supervises Cryptoasset Service Providers under MiCA in Italy, with the Bank of Italy covering prudential matters, alongside Legislative Decree 231/2007, the Transfer of Funds Regulation, and DORA.
Do crypto firms need MiCA authorisation?
Yes. Providing cryptoasset services in Italy requires CASP authorisation under MiCA covering the relevant service classes; firms registered under the earlier OAM virtual asset regime need full MiCA authorisation.
How long does authorisation take in Italy?
Most Italian authorisations run several months to a year from submission, plus preparation. Complete, well-evidenced applications with credible governance move through review meaningfully faster.
Do you support firms after authorisation?
Yes. Most of our work is ongoing: compliance monitoring, regulatory change management, policy updates, reporting support, independent reviews, and training throughout the supervisory relationship.
Are your services advisory only?
Yes, deliberately. ABM Global Compliance never operates regulated businesses or holds client funds. We build, strengthen, and review your compliance arrangements while you remain the regulated operator.
