The regulator and the framework
In Italy the Commissione Nazionale per le Societa e la Borsa (CONSOB), together with Banca d'Italia, is the competent authority for crypto asset service providers under the EU Markets in Crypto Assets framework, which has applied across the European Union since 30 December 2024 and is coordinated with the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).
Under the Markets in Crypto Assets framework, a crypto asset service provider authorised in one member state can be passported across the European Economic Area. Gate.io holds such an authorisation through Gate Technology Ltd, which the Malta Financial Services Authority authorised in October 2025, and that authorisation can be passported into Italy. Confirm the current status of the entity on the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) register and the Commissione Nazionale per le Societa e la Borsa (CONSOB) (as of 26 June 2026).
How crypto is taxed in Italy
Italy taxes gains on crypto for individuals as financial income, administered by the Agenzia delle Entrate. The applicable rate and the threshold at which gains become taxable have changed in recent budget laws, so the current treatment should be confirmed for the relevant tax year (as of 26 June 2026).
Because rates and reporting requirements change and depend on personal circumstances, confirm the current treatment with the Agenzia delle Entrate or a qualified adviser. See the Italy crypto tax page for a fuller explanation. This is general information, not tax advice (as of 26 June 2026).
Gate.io serves Italian residents through its Markets in Crypto Assets authorised European entity. Other platforms authorised under the Markets in Crypto Assets framework across the European Economic Area also serve Italy. Compare the exchanges that are genuinely available before you choose.
Every availability status here is dated and checked against the named regulator's public register. We never place a link to a platform where it is not available.
