Published in the Gazzetta Ufficiale of 17 February 2022, the Ministerial Decree of 13 January 2022 (the "Decree") established the register of providers of services related to the use of virtual currency and providers of digital wallet services. Once the time limits set out in Decree have expired, only entities entered in the register will be allowed to provide such services in Italy; in order to be registered, such entities must have their registered office and operational headquarters (or, in the case of EU entities, a permanent establishment) in Italy.
