According to news on December 11, Italian politicians said on Tuesday that they will reduce the increase in cryptocurrency capital gains tax. According to the 2025 budget that will be approved by Parliament at the end of December, the Ministry of Finance intends to increase the capital gains tax on cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin from 26% to 26%. At 42%, the coalition said the move would risk boosting the shadow economy. Political sources said the government may even decide to keep the 26% tax rate unchanged.
