Bitcoin is trading at $67,450, sustaining momentum above the crucial pivot of $66,890. Investors are closely watching as Bitcoin approaches the next resistance at $69,000, with support at $66,110 providing a key safety net in the event of a pullback.

This movement aligns with broader trends, including Italy’s proposed Bitcoin tax and the entry of new cryptocurrency ETFs into the market.

 Deputy Finance Minister Maurizio Leo attributes the hike to the increasing use of Bitcoin in the country. Currently, cryptocurrency gains over €2,000 are taxed at 26%, but the new rate will soon take effect.

Italy is set to raise its Bitcoin capital gains tax from 26% to 42%, aiming to fund election promises and reduce its budget deficit.
