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 June 2026, Gemini is not available to residents of the Netherlands. Gemini confirmed on its own areas of availability page that it would close all customer accounts in the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area effective 6 April 2026, with accounts moving to withdrawal only from 5 March 2026. Crypto itself stays legal in the Netherlands through platforms authorised under the EU Markets in Crypto Assets framework and supervised by the Dutch regulator AFM.
Availability for Netherlands residents
As of 10 June 2026, Gemini does not serve residents of the Netherlands. Gemini, operated from the United States by Gemini Trust Company LLC, stated on its areas of availability page that it would close all customer accounts in the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area effective 6 April 2026. The Netherlands is a member of the European Economic Area, so that closure applies to Dutch residents (as of 10 June 2026).
Gemini described the change as a phased wind down. New account creation and incentive programmes for these regions were disabled first, existing accounts were placed in withdrawal only mode from 5 March 2026, and customers were asked to withdraw all crypto and fiat before 6 April 2026. The company said it was leaving the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, and Australia to focus on its United States business (as of 10 June 2026).
Because Gemini no longer onboards or serves residents of the Netherlands, this page does not show a compare available exchanges module for Gemini in the Netherlands. Dutch residents who want a platform that genuinely operates there should review the exchanges that hold authorisation under the EU Markets in Crypto Assets framework and are supervised by AFM.
What this means for residents of the Netherlands
If you held a Gemini account in the Netherlands, the practical step was to unstake any staked assets, sell or withdraw before the deadlines, and move funds to a platform that operates in the Netherlands. Gemini said it partnered with eToro to help customers in these regions transition, but you should treat any such offer as a commercial arrangement and confirm the terms and current availability yourself before acting (as of 10 June 2026).
Treat any third party claim that Gemini is still open to the Netherlands with caution and verify it on Gemini's own areas of availability page. For platforms that do operate in the Netherlands under AFM supervision, see the alternatives below and confirm the current position before acting.
How crypto is taxed in the Netherlands
How crypto is taxed in the Netherlands is set by the Belastingdienst, the Dutch tax administration. In general terms, individuals holding crypto as private wealth are taxed under the Box 3 rules on savings and investments, based on the value of holdings on the reference date rather than on the gain from each individual trade. Treatment can differ where activity amounts to a business. See the Netherlands crypto tax page for a fuller general explanation and confirm your position with a qualified professional before filing. This is general information, not tax advice (as of 10 June 2026).
Gemini is not available to Netherlands residents, so this page does not link the Gemini platform here. If you want a platform that genuinely operates for Dutch residents, start with the exchanges that hold authorisation under the EU Markets in Crypto Assets framework and verify the current position before acting.
