Crypto Investment Among Italians Soars 10% in Just Two Years

The number of Italians owning crypto has significantly increased, more than doubling in just two years from 2022 to 2024, data released Tuesday by Italian financial regulator Consob showed.

However, this growing popularity doesn’t necessarily mean a corresponding rise in understanding about these digital assets.
A survey of over 2,000 investors conducted earlier this year found that the internet is the primary source of investment information for most Italian investors.

Television follows at a distant second, with social media and financial platforms sharing the third spot. Meanwhile, print and online newspapers are more popular than information from financial institutions.
Most Financial Decision Makers Are Men Over 50, Consob Data Shows
Further, Consob said that social media is a more significant source of financial information for younger adults, women, lower-income households, and those with less financial knowledge. However, while it influences initial research, its impact on final investment decisions is minimal, with only 3% of respondents relying on social media advice.

The study points out that typically, the person making financial decision
s in a household is the highest earner, who also manages the finances. In 78% of these cases, this individual is a man, averaging 51 years old.

Most investors prioritize capital preservation over growth, with 81% focusing on protecting their investments compared to 55% seeking to increase their wealth.

Italian Central Bank to Enforce EU MiCA Law with New Crypto Guidelines
Italy is taking steps to increase oversight of the cryptocurrency market. In June, the country announced plans to introduce strict regulations, including hefty fines for market manipulation.

Additionally, the Italian central bank is developing guidelines to implement the EU Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) law, which is set to take effect later this year. #bitcoin #italy $BTC

Many Italian users could sell by December 2024 to pay the current tax of 26% and close their accounts on exchanges. Why give almost half of the profits made with a lot of risk and with money already taxed (salary, income from self-employment, etc.) to give the state an additional 42%? Italian investors, what will you do?

⚔️ MUSK - VS - ZUCKERBERG ⚔️

Elon Musk announced that the fight will be managed by his and Zuck’s foundations (not UFC). Livestream will be on his platform and Meta and there will be an epic location but the it seems that from Italy there is a NO for the Colosseum.

What location do you think is the best for this fight?

I have read several messages on crypto taxation in Italy, often inaccurate. Let's start with the basics: taxation was 26%, it remains 26%. Capital gains are paid on all earnings, once the operation is closed. If I have closed operations at a loss, the capital losses will lower the total capital gains (perhaps bringing the whole thing into negative territory). Capital gains must be paid on both trading and staking. Since they are considered different incomes, the staking earnings can in turn offset the capital losses (which is not possible with dividends and interest on government bonds). It should also be noted that we do not think in watertight compartments: if I have capital gains from trading on crypto and capital losses from other investments I can use the former to recover the capital losses within 4 years. Last point: in 2026 the capital gain will be taxed at 33%. Given that many things can change in 12 months (the discussion on 42% teaches us), perhaps in the next few months we will discover that 33% will be extended to all asset classes (excluding government bonds and similar). In essence: let's think about earning, then worry about the taxes to pay!

Italy to Increase Crypto Market Surveillance with High Fines
Italy is getting ready to tighten its oversight of crypto assets with strict rules to stop market abuse. A new proposed law could soon bring hefty fines ranging from 5,000 to 5 million euros for things like insider trading, illegally sharing secret information, and manipulating cryptocurrency markets.This comes as worries about the risks of digital currencies grow worldwide. Global organizations and central banks have warned that cryptocurrencies don’t have a stable value and could cause economic problems. Cases of fraud involving cryptocurrencies have also sparked concerns around the globe.Italy’s plan follows a European rule from last year that gives its central bank and financial regulator, Consob, the job of ensuring markets work well and are financially safe.Cryptocurrencies work outside regular banks, letting people move money globally using blockchain technology. This tech keeps transactions safe by using unique digital wallet addresses of letters and numbers.
Italy’s move to crack down on crypto market tricks shows a wider trend of countries making rules to control cryptocurrencies more tightly. By punishing market manipulation and other wrongs with big fines, Italy aims to protect investors and keep financial markets honest. This reflects a global effort to carefully manage cryptocurrencies’ risks and benefits.
