The Bank of Italy warns: The growth of cryptocurrencies may pose risks to investors and financial stability

ChainCatcher news, the Bank of Italy pointed out in its April 2025 "Financial Stability Report": "The strong growth of Bitcoin and other highly volatile crypto assets not only means that investors face risks, but also poses a potential threat to financial stability due to the increasing connections between the digital asset ecosystem and the traditional financial sector and the real economy." The report also noted that non-financial companies holding Bitcoin "expose them to significant price volatility," and warned that dollar-pegged stablecoins "could pose risks if they become systemically important."
