ChainCatcher message, the Italian Ministry of Economy announced that it has initiated an "in-depth review" of the current risk prevention mechanisms related to cryptocurrency investment, aiming to assess whether the protective measures for retail investors in the process of direct or indirect investment in crypto assets are sufficient.

This decision was made by the Macro-Prudential Policy Committee, which consists of the Bank of Italy, the market regulator Consob, the insurance and pension regulator, and the Ministry of Finance. Regulators have warned that as crypto assets become increasingly intertwined with the traditional financial system and the problem of fragmented international regulation intensifies, their potential risks may further rise. Currently, the overall economic and financial situation in Italy remains stable, but it faces high global uncertainty.
