Banca Sella becomes Italy's first MiCA-authorised bank for crypto services
Banca Sella said it became Italy's first bank authorised to provide crypto-asset services under MiCA on May 27, 2026, after completing a notification process with the Bank of Italy in forty days. The Biella-based lender is focusing on custody and transfer rather than retail trading, with a custody, send, and receive solution planned before the end of 2026 and initially aimed at corporate and institutional clients.
