Bank of Italy economist warns regulators over Ethereum token economics

A study by a Bank of Italy economist suggests that Ethereum's role in financial systems raises questions about its token economics and could draw regulatory attention.

According to the study, Ethereum's position in finance makes its token economics a concern for regulators, who may need to consider safeguards for its use in regulated finance.

It remains unclear whether regulators will act on these concerns; the study indicates they may need to consider safeguards but does not detail subsequent steps.
