Compliance

Hodlie operates with the goal of ensuring security and transparency in full compliance with regulations, while swiftly adapting to an ever-evolving regulatory landscape.

Regulatory Compliance and OAM Registration

Hodlie has been officially registered with the OAM (Organismo degli Agenti in attività finanziaria e dei Mediatori creditizi) since 11/08/2023, in accordance with the decree issued by the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance on January 13, 2022. Registration is a mandatory requirement to operate legally in the cryptocurrency sector in Italy and demonstrates our commitment to meeting the highest regulatory standards.

The OAM is the sole and independent authority responsible for managing the official registers of financial agents, credit brokers, and virtual currency operators. Through regular data collection and oversight activities, it works to protect consumers by ensuring the professionalism of registered entities, compliance with regulations, and reliability of public information. It also contributes to sector regulation and the professional recognition of registered operators, promoting transparency and integrity.

By being listed in the register, Hodlie is authorized to operate in full compliance with Italian regulations and to actively support the development of a safer and more transparent crypto market.

In accordance with applicable laws, Hodlie also implements Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures, carried out through Onfido. The aim is to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activities. Operators are required to collect clients’ identifying information and report transactions and account balances to the OAM on a quarterly basis.

From OAM Registration to MiCA Regulation: Hodlie on the path to European compliance

With the entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, known as MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets), on December 30, 2024, the European Union has introduced a unified regulatory framework for crypto-assets. This regulation marks a crucial step toward the legitimization and oversight of crypto assets within the European single market. MiCA sets clear requirements for crypto-asset issuers and service providers (CASPs), including obligations for transparency, disclosure, authorization, and transaction supervision. Its goal is to ensure market integrity and financial stability while enhancing consumer protection through greater awareness of the risks associated with crypto assets.

Hodlie, already compliant with Italian regulation and registered with the OAM, is actively preparing to meet MiCA requirements. This commitment reflects our intention not only to comply with current laws but also to anticipate future ones—offering users a reliable, transparent, and long-lasting platform. The adoption of MiCA represents a major turning point for the crypto-asset sector in Europe, putting an end to a period of regulatory uncertainty and paving the way for a safer, more professional market. Hodlie is ready to embrace the opportunities of this new regulatory environment, continuing to uphold high compliance standards for its users.
