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

#BTC‬ #italy #tax Se il governo italiano approvasse definitivamente la tassazione crypto al 42% per le plusvalenze 2025 tu cosa faresti? Molti utenti italiani potrebbero vendere entro dicembre 2024 per pagare l’attuale tassa al 26%e chiudere i loro account sugli exchange. Perché dare quasi la metà dei profitti realizzati con molto rischio e con soldi già tassati (stipendio, reddito da lavoro in proprio ecc…) per regalare allo stato un ulteriore 42%? Investitori italiani cosa farete?

Ho letto diversi messaggi sulla tassazione delle cripto in Italia, spesso inprecisi. Partiamo dalle basi: la tassazione era al 26%, rimane al 26%. le plusvalenze si pagano su tutti i guadagni, una volta chiusa l'operazione. Se ho chiuso in perdita delle operazioni, le minusvalenze andranno ad abbassare il totale delle plusvalenze (magari portando in negativo il tutto). Le plusvalenze vanno pagate sia sul trading che sullo staking. Essendo considerati redditi diversi, i ricavi da staking possono a loro volta compensare le minusvalenze (cosa invece non fattibile con i dividendi e gli interessi dei titoli di stato). Va poi evidenziato che non si ragiona a compartimenti stagni: se ho plusvalenze da trading su cripto e minusvalenze da altri investimenti posso utilizzare le prime per recuperare entro 4 anni le minusvalenze. Ultimo punto: nel 2026 la plusvalenza sarà tassata al 33%. Al netto che in 12 mesi possono cambiare tante cose (la discussione sul 42% insegna), magari nei prossimi mesi scopriremo che il 33% verrà esteso a tutte le asset class (titoli di stato e assimilati esclusi). In sostanza: pensiamo a guadagnare, poi fasciamoci la testa sulle tasse da pagare !

📢 Aggiornamento importante sulla tassazione delle criptovalute in Italia 🇮🇹

Secondo le nuove disposizioni:
🔹 2025: La tassa sulle plusvalenze da vendita di criptovalute scenderà al 26% (dal precedente 42%).
🔹 2026: L'aliquota salirà nuovamente al 33%.

❗ Novità importante: verrà eliminata la soglia di esenzione di 2.000€, quindi tutte le transazioni, anche le più piccole, saranno tassate.

La tassazione delle crypto supererà così quella degli asset tradizionali in Italia:
📌 Bond statali: 12,5%
📌 Azioni e altri titoli: 26%
📌 Crypto (dal 2026): 33%

🚀💥 L'Italia si posiziona quindi tra i Paesi con la tassazione crypto più alta in Europa e nel mondo.

Cosa ne pensi?

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.
