Banca d’Italia has mandated crypto asset service providers to screen all transactions regardless of size to enforce EU sanctions and prevent evasion by splitting funds into smaller amounts.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 2 sources have reported it between 8 Sep 2026 and 11 Sep 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must now screen every crypto transaction in Italy with no minimum exemption, adding compliance overhead but opening doors to firms ready to lead EU sanctions enforcement technology.
