Italy's Consob orders crypto firms to obtain MiCAR authorization by Dec. 30, 2025
Consob tells virtual asset service providers to apply for CASP status or exit the Italian market as the EU MiCAR transition period ends.
Italy’s market watchdog Consob has told crypto providers they must secure authorization under the EU’s Markets in Crypto‑Assets (MiCAR) regime by Dec. 30, 2025, or suspend local operations, increasing pressure on exchanges and brokers that serve Italian users [2][3].
Consob urged both investors and operators to exercise “maximum attention” as the MiCAR transition period nears its end, and instructed virtual asset service providers (VASPs) to apply for Crypto‑Asset Service Provider (CASP) status to align with the new EU rules [2][3].
Coverage from industry outlets reiterates the regulator’s deadline and compliance requirement, reporting that MiCAR authorization will be required across Italy by Dec. 30, 2025 [1].
Firms that fail to obtain MiCAR/CASP authorization by the deadline are expected to suspend or exit their Italian business, per Consob’s directive [2].
