Is BingX available in the Netherlands?
BingX is not available to residents of the Netherlands. The platform lists the Netherlands among the restricted territories in its own terms of use, so Dutch residents are not accepted, separately from the Dutch and European Union licensing rules supervised by the Autoriteit Financiele Markten.
Information, not advice. This is general information, not legal, tax, or financial advice. Verify the current rules with a qualified local professional and the official regulator before acting.
How we checked this. We set this status by reading the platform's own terms of use and country eligibility, and the public register kept by the named regulator, then dated the result. Availability can change, so confirm directly with the platform and the regulator before acting. As of 26 June 2026.
As of 26 June 2026, BingX is not available to residents of the Netherlands. BingX names the Netherlands among the restricted territories in its own terms of use, so it does not accept users who are residents of the country. Separately, the Dutch market is supervised by the Autoriteit Financiele Markten (AFM) and runs under the European Union Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework, under which only authorised providers may serve Dutch clients. Owning crypto remains legal in the Netherlands, but the BingX platform is closed to residents, so verify the current position with the AFM before acting.
Availability for Dutch residents
As of 26 June 2026, BingX is not available to residents of the Netherlands. The decisive point is that BingX itself lists the Netherlands among the restricted territories in its terms of use and disclaimer, which means it does not accept account holders who are residents of the country.
Separately from the platform's own terms, the Dutch financial markets regulator is the Autoriteit Financiele Markten (AFM), which supervises crypto asset service providers together with De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB). Since the European Union Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework took effect, the AFM authorises crypto firms, and only authorised providers may serve Dutch clients. BingX does not hold an AFM authorisation under MiCA.
Because BingX restricts the Netherlands in its own terms and is not authorised by the AFM, treat the platform as not available to Dutch residents. Owning, buying, and selling crypto through an authorised provider remains legal in the Netherlands. Verify the current position with the AFM before acting.
How the rules apply
BingX is a custodial platform, which means it holds assets on a user's behalf. To serve Dutch residents lawfully, a crypto platform must hold authorisation from the Autoriteit Financiele Markten under the European Union Markets in Crypto Assets framework and apply know your customer and anti money laundering checks. BingX has not done so and excludes the Netherlands in its terms.
Dutch residents who want to use a platform should choose a provider that appears on the AFM register of authorised crypto asset service providers. Confirm the current authorisation status before acting, because the register and platform terms can change.
How crypto is taxed in Netherlands
Crypto is taxed in the Netherlands, with oversight from the Belastingdienst, the Dutch tax administration. In general terms, individual holdings are treated within the wealth and savings rules rather than as wages, while professional or business activity can be taxed differently (as of 26 June 2026). Because the treatment depends on personal circumstances, confirm the current rules with the Belastingdienst or a qualified Dutch adviser.
