: Il contributo si propone di investigare se, e in che misura, le cripto-attività possano essere considerati beni giuridici (digitali) suscettibili di disvelare una rappresentazione di valore digitale e, quindi, forieri di una ricchezza imponibile in capo ai soggetti che tali cripto-attività gestiscono, generano e/o scambiano. Preliminare all’approfondimento di tali profili è, tuttavia, la comprensione delle infrastrutture informatico-algoritmiche che costituiscono elemento essenziale e necessario alla circolazione delle cripto-attività: ovverosia, le tecnologie a registro distribuito (Distributed Ledger Technologies – DLTs), di cui la tecnologia blockchain rappresenta il protocollo applicativo di piú ampia diffusione e studio. Di qui, acquista centralità sistematica valutare attraverso quali percorsi giustificativi, ed elaborazioni maggioritarie diffuse in dottrina, è possibile inferire i primi rilievi e spunti ricostruttivi in termini di esistenza o meno di una soggettività tributaria passiva in capo ai «soggetti gestori» (e.g. Decentralised Autonomous Organisations – DAOs) e agli altri «participants» alla DLTs.

Abstract
This essay is aimed at analysing whether, and to what an extent, crypto-assets may be regarded as digital assets suitable to embed an equivalent digital representation of value and, for this reason, in such a position to manifest a taxable wealth towards those subjects who handle, generate and/or exchange the crypto-assets thereof. In this vein, stands as a preliminary set of knowledges the examination of those algorithmic and encrypted infrastructures which constitute the essential basis for the exchange of crypto-assets: namely, distributed ledger technologies (DLTs), among which the blockchain represents the most diffused applicative protocol. Hence, it is maintained matter of interest the consideration of which justification pathways very first attempts and food for thought may be grounded on to outline what kinds of essential elements should be met to establish a tax liability towards both the administers of such DLTs (e.g. Decentralised Autonomous Organisations – DAOs), and, after a substantial and objective differentiation, against the other «participants» to the DLTs.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
