Cross-border crypto transfers into and out of Italy are governed by directly applicable EU law: Regulation (EU) 2023/1113 (Transfer of Funds Regulation, the EU 'travel rule' instrument) and MiCA's restrictions on non-EU CASPs soliciting or serving EU clients. No Italy-specific outbound capital-control restriction on crypto transfers distinct from EU-wide rules was identified.

Outlook
Watch for how Italian CASPs operationalise screening against Russian- and Belarusian-established platforms in cross-border transfers, and for any further EU sanctions measures extending the same logic to additional jurisdictions or asset types.
