According to CoinMeta, the Italian Central Bank requires crypto asset service providers to conduct sanctions screening on each cryptocurrency transfer, with no exemption for minimum amounts. This requirement stems from guidelines implemented in Italy by the European Banking Authority starting December 30, 2025. The Italian Central Bank noted that instant payment exemptions for payment service providers do not apply to crypto transfers, and crypto companies are required to review and screen systems, update sanction lists, and implement alert procedures. mica Authorization does not replace the independent obligations under the EU's restrictive measures.
