Is bitcoin legal in Italy?
Bitcoin is fully legal in Italy. Crypto-asset service providers operate under the EU's MiCA regulation, supervised jointly by Consob and Banca d'Italia, which replaced the older OAM registration regime. Tax has tightened: Italy's 2025 budget law removed the 2,000 euro annual exemption and raised the capital gains rate on crypto from 26 percent to 33 percent with effect from January 2026, with an optional 18 percent substitute tax to step up the cost basis of existing holdings.
