Conio Lands EU Licence for Regulated Crypto Services in Italy

Conio, an Italian fintech backed by Poste Italiane and Banca Generali, has obtained a licence in Italy under the European Union's MiCAR regulation to operate as a crypto-asset service provider (CASP). This authorisation allows Conio to offer regulated services such as custody, transfer, and placement of digital assets under EU standards.

The move comes ahead of the June 30, 2026 end of the MiCAR transition period, after which unlicensed firms will be barred from offering crypto services in Italy and the EU. With this licence, Conio becomes one of the first Italian players to comply with the regulatory requirements before the enforcement deadline.

The company plans to target retail investors, banks, fintechs seeking white-label solutions, and companies or institutions interested in tokenisation and digital asset management services.
