[The Bank of Italy will issue guidelines on crypto assets] The Governor of the Bank of Italy, Panetta, said on Tuesday that the Bank of Italy will issue guidelines in the coming days on how to apply the upcoming EU crypto asset rules to keep the payment system functioning. In a speech to the Italian Banking Association (ABI), Panetta said that the EU regulation known as the Crypto Asset Market Regulation (MiCAR) considers that electronic money tokens (EMTs) and asset-linked tokens (ARTs) meet the requirements for use as a means of payment. The value of (EMTs) is linked to the value of a single official currency, while the value of ARTs depends on one or more underlying assets. "Our assessment is that the only instrument that can serve as a means of payment and fully maintain public trust is EMTs, which can be issued by banks or electronic money institutions," Panetta said.
