As of June 2026 Crypto.com is available to Dutch residents. Crypto.com announced that its Malta entity received a full MiCA crypto asset service provider licence from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) on 27 January 2025, describing itself as among the first major global providers to obtain a full MiCA licence. A MiCA licence granted in one member state can be passported across the European Economic Area, which includes the Netherlands, where the Autoriteit Financiële Markten (AFM) is the competent authority. A Dutch resident can generally open an account, complete verification, fund in euros, and trade. Products and fees change, so confirm the current options and the licence on the AFM and ESMA registers before acting.
Is the platform available to residents
As of June 2026 Dutch residents can generally register with Crypto.com and use the platform. Crypto.com stated that its Malta entity received a full MiCA crypto asset service provider licence from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) on 27 January 2025. Because a MiCA licence can be passported across the European Economic Area, the licensed entity can serve clients in the Netherlands.
Availability and the exact product set can change, so confirm what is offered to a Netherlands account in the Crypto.com app, and confirm the licence that covers Dutch clients on the AFM and European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) registers (as of June 2026).
The regulator and the framework
The Netherlands supervises crypto on a Twin Peaks model. De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) historically ran the registration regime for crypto service providers focused on anti money laundering, and the Autoriteit Financiële Markten (AFM) is the conduct authority. Since 30 December 2024 the European Union Markets in Crypto Assets regulation, known as MiCA, applies to crypto asset service providers across the bloc, coordinated with the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), with the AFM as the Dutch competent authority.
A MiCA crypto asset service provider licence granted in one member state can in principle be passported across the European Economic Area. Crypto.com holds its European licence from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). The Dutch transitional period for providers registered under the former DNB regime ended on 30 June 2025, so confirm a platform's licence and the markets it actually serves on the AFM and ESMA registers (as of June 2026).
How residents access the platform
Residents typically access Crypto.com through its app and website after completing know your customer verification, which Crypto.com applies as part of its anti money laundering controls. European clients generally fund in euros, though available options for a Netherlands account can change.
The product set under the European licence centres on the crypto asset services covered by the MiCA authorisation, including spot trading and custody, with certain products subject to European rules. Products, supported assets, and fees change over time, so confirm what is offered to a Netherlands account before trading (as of June 2026).
Tax treatment
Tax on crypto for Dutch residents is administered by the Belastingdienst, the Netherlands Tax Administration. Holdings are generally reported under the Box 3 regime that taxes wealth, while activity that amounts to a business or to income can fall under other boxes. This page does not give tax advice. For how crypto is treated in the Netherlands in general terms, see the Netherlands tax page, and confirm your own position with a qualified local professional before filing (as of June 2026).
Crypto.com is available to Dutch residents under MiCA, and other providers, including Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Bybit, and Dutch licensed platforms, also serve the Netherlands. Availability, fees, and protections vary, so compare the exchanges available in the Netherlands before you choose.
