BitGo’s entrance into the European nation follows a pattern of companies taking operations to Italy. On Tuesday, Crypto.com said it obtained regulatory approval. Crypto exchanges Binance, Kraken and Bitpanda and brokerage Trade Republic have also registered recently.
The crypto regulatory landscape in Europe is uncertain. The awaited Markets in Crypto-Assets law (MiCA) which would provide a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the European Union, may not go into effect until 2024.
BitGo declined to comment on its status in Italy. In an emailed statement, a spokesperson said the company is licensed in South Dakota, New York, Switzerland and Germany, with a couple other jurisdictions pending.
