"The use, exchange and storage of digital currencies and their conversion to legal currencies are not addressed by the money-laundering legislation and therefore are not required to comply with requirements of customer data recording and reporting of suspicious transactions," the notice says.However, the bank did strongly encourage firms dealing in digital currency exchange to voluntarily apply AML rules.The bank's overall position is in line with statements about digital currencies made by the European Banking Authority last July and first set out by the European Central Bank in December 2012.The Italian central bank's statement has been cautiously welcomed by cryptocurrency businesses and activists in the country.Andrea Medri, who founded cryptocurrency exchange The Rock Trading in Italy, said he was pleasantly surprised by the tone of the central bank's guidance, but only because he expected more negative rhetoric."When we talk about central banks we always expect the worse, but in my opinion it is not as bad as it could have been," he said.

"We are cautiously optimistic."Medri said the latest announcements did not contain any explicit new guidance for firms like his, although he welcomed the fact that the central bank appeared to be building on guidance from European regulators.The central bank's latest guidance should be viewed as a positive development for the cryptocurrency industry in Italy, said Giulia Aranguena, a lawyer who advises Cashless Way, an association that promotes digital payments."This is a very good first step for our market to organise and give a sort of certainty, it is very positive ... indirectly it is recognising the role and importance of digital currencies," she said.The Rock Trading's founder said he is particularly interested in regulatory movements surrounding bitcoin in Italy because he had moved his firm to Malta and is seeking to return to Italy if the regulatory environment becomes more settled.The entrepreneur said his exchange implemented voluntary AML and know-your-customer rules a year ago, so the latest announcements would have had no impact on his operations, even if still based in Italy.

Italian law-makers are actively engaged with the cryptocurrency community, but are likely awaiting guidelines from European authorities before making further moves, Medri said."I believe, eventually, Italy will require the equivalent of a money-transmitter's licence in the United States, and I hope they will create a dedicated licence for [the digital currency] industry," he said.Other market-watchers agree with Medri's assessment that Italian regulators are likely waiting for European authorities' cue.One such observer is Franco Cimatti of Bitcoin Foundation Italy, a trade organisation that is not affiliated with the Bitcoin Foundation.He warns that the central bank's latest guidance should be viewed critically because local legislators are far from agreement on how digital currencies should be governed."Even if this seems like good news, it will not stop our politicians from creating bad laws.We are still keeping our eyes wide open to see what will happen in the future," he said.Featured image from Andrea Giovanni / Flickr The leader in blockchain news, CoinDesk is an independent media outlet that strives for the highest journalistic standards and abides by a strict set of editorial policies.
