Consob's interventions in the crypto-assets sector continue due the powers granted by the European sector regulation (Micar).
Consob has ordered the termination of the abusive offer of crypto-assets called "memecoin $CORONA"to the Italian public, which was also promoted through the website www.getcoronamemes.com, duo to lack of previous notification to Consob of the disclosure document (White Paper) required by Micar.
Six websites through which cryptocurrency services were provided without the required authorizations from Micar were, in addition, blocked:
- "Spazio Finanziario"(website www.spaziofinanziario.it and related pages www.clients.spaziofinanziario.com and www.trading.spaziofinanziario.com);
- "HTXcoin-az" (website https://m.htxcoin-az.com);
- "Stock Credit Wallet" (website https://stockcreditwallet.com);
- "Paycraftv.top"/"Paycraftn.top" (websites https://paycraftv.top and https://paycraftn.top);
- "CoinBank Exchange" (website https://coinbankexchange.icu).
Further interventions against financial abuse also continues. Consob has blacked out the following four unauthorized financial intermediation sites:
- "Capitalgates" (website https://capitalgates.io);
- "Tux" (websites https://tuxitu.com and https://tuxamity.com);
- "AquillaFX" (website https://aquillafx.net and related page https://client.aquillafx.net).
In aggregate, eleven sites have been blacked out last week. This brings the total number of sites blocked by Consob, since the Authority was given the power in July 2019 to order the blocking of websites of abusive financial intermediaries, to 1247.
