Frequently asked questions

Is crypto legal in the Netherlands? +
Yes. Crypto is legal to buy, hold and sell in the Netherlands under the EU’s MiCA regulation, supervised by the AFM (conduct and licensing) and DNB (prudential and anti-money-laundering).
How is crypto taxed in the Netherlands? +
For most individuals crypto is taxed under Box 3 as part of your net wealth — based on a deemed return on your assets as of 1 January, not on each sale — with a tax-free allowance (€59,357 per person in 2026). The Box 3 system is being reformed toward taxing actual returns, so check current Belastingdienst guidance. This is general information, not tax advice.
What happened to Binance in the Netherlands? +
Binance withdrew from the Netherlands in 2023 after it could not obtain a registration with the Dutch central bank (DNB), and Dutch users could only withdraw from mid-2023. Crypto itself remains fully legal in the Netherlands — this is one company’s decision, not a market-wide problem, and CryptoUnity is a calm place to keep going.
How do beginners in the Netherlands buy their first crypto? +
Download a beginner-friendly app, verify your identity once, fund your account by SEPA transfer in euros, and make a small, guided first purchase. CryptoUnity explains each coin and step in plain language.
Is CryptoUnity regulated? +
CryptoUnity is a beginner-friendly app, not a licensed exchange. Regulated custody and execution are provided by BitGo, a regulated institutional custodian.
