To explain in detail, the misunderstanding happened between Italian crypto Twitter users and UniCredit. The Italian crypto Twitter community claims that a client was a victim of threats by the bank for the reason of transferring his assets to crypto exchanges. Henceforth, the community revealed that the largest bank in Milano had put restrictions on its clients from trading cryptocurrencies.
As per Twitterati, UniCredit was purportedly attempting to lose buyers deliberately, taking steps to end their records. However, numerous crypto allies said that the bank would not be left in the residue by opposing new innovations as Nokia, Kodak, and Blockbuster had done previously.
In relation to this argument, many clients expect that the bank is attempting to conceal hints of failure by backtracking on its digital money boycott.
The Lack of Regulations In The Cryptocurrency Industry
Many concerns were raised by Consob in regards to the lack of financial regulations that the cryptocurrency industry faces. The main concern of the top Italian financial regulator was the unsupervised growth of the cryptocurrency sector. Moreover, the chairman Paolo Savona stated that, if there is no coordinated effort inside the European Union, Italy may develop its own regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies.
The crypto industry has achieved major improvements over time. Despite this fact, the issue of uncertainty from traditional banks towards cryptocurrency trading still remains unsolved. A similar case supporting this statement is the British bank, TSB. This bank prohibits its clients from trading cryptocurrencies with the pretext that they are keeping their users away from potential fraud.
Nonetheless, there are some other banks that allow their customers to trade cryptocurrencies. Such a case, is the famous private bank of Italy, Banca Generali.
