The Italian regulatory authority responsible for overseeing companies and financial markets has decreed the obstruction of access to seven investment websites that lack proper authorization. The specific sites affected by this action include:
– 09pqws (https://09pqws.it)
– DSS776 (https://dss776.it)
– ERY357 (https://ery357.it)
– TNT882 (https://tnt882.it)
– ZeroTrillionWorld (https://zerotrillionworld.it)
– ZGV796 (https://zgv796.it)
– 78DEF (https://78def.it)
These websites are linked to entities that are providing cryptocurrency services without the necessary legal permissions. The action taken by the regulatory body is part of its mandate under the MiCAR regulations, which enable the blocking of sites facilitating cryptocurrency services to Italian citizens without adequate authorization.
Since the allowance for such actions was granted in July 2019, the number of blocked websites has increased substantially, now totaling 1,376. This move aims to protect the interests of investors and ensure that only authorized entities can provide financial services in Italy.
Internet service providers across the country are currently in the process of implementing the blocking measures. However, due to technical challenges, there may be delays in the complete execution of these restrictions.
