PANews reported on December 5th that the Italian Ministry of Economy announced it has launched an "in-depth review" of existing risk control mechanisms related to cryptocurrency investment, aiming to assess the adequacy of safeguards for retail investors when directly or indirectly investing in crypto assets. This decision was made by the Macroprudential Policy Committee, composed of the Bank of Italy, the market regulator Consob, the insurance and pension regulator, and the Ministry of Finance.
Regulators have warned that the potential risks of crypto assets could rise further as they become increasingly intertwined with the traditional financial system and international regulatory fragmentation intensifies. Currently, Italy's overall economic and financial situation remains stable, but it faces significant global uncertainty.
