The aim of this paper is to analyze the process of digitalization in the financial sector, with a focus on one of its most significant and controversial innovations: cryptocurrencies. The regulatory landscape surrounding digital assets has always been uncertain; however, in recent times, European and national authorities have undertaken efforts to provide the sector with a more suitable legal framework. Through an analysis of the current regulations, the paper aims to highlight the main practical challenges in their application. Finally, it explores the major offenses associated with the use of crypto-assets, such as money laundering and tax evasion, examining how the courts have addressed these issues. The analysis is intended to shed light on the main interpretative and operational difficulties arising from the interaction between technological innovation and the law, emphasizing the need for a flexible regulatory approach capable of adapting to the sector’s rapid evolution.
L'obiettivo del presente elaborato è analizzare il processo di digitalizzazione della finanza, con un focus su una delle sue innovazioni più significative e controverse: le criptovalute. Il panorama normativo legato agli asset digitali è sempre stato incerto ma, recentemente, le autorità europee e nazionali si sono attivate per fornire al settore un quadro normativo più adeguato. Attraverso l'analisi della regolamentazione vigente, il lavoro si propone di evidenziarne le principali criticità applicative. Infine, vengono approfonditi i principali illeciti legati all'utilizzo di cripto-attività, come il riciclaggio e l'evasione fiscale, esaminando il modo in cui la giurisprudenza si è pronunciata su tali fenomeni. L'analisi è finalizzata a comprendere le principali difficoltà interpretative e operative che derivano dall'interazione tra innovazione tecnologica e diritto, evidenziando la necessità di un approccio normativo flessibile, capace di adattarsi alla rapida evoluzione del settore.
