The Netherlands previously required crypto service providers to register under the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act (Wwft), enforced by De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB). Since June 2024, the country applies EU MiCAR, which regulates stablecoins (EMTs/ARTs) with strict reserve, licensing, and disclosure requirements. The Netherlands is known for strict supervision of VASPs and stablecoin issuers.

Regulatory approach
DNB supervises financial institutions, enforces AML/CFT under Wwft, and licenses EMT/ART issuers under MiCAR. Netherlands launched their Digital Asset Innovation Hub (DAIH) in 2025 to test innovative blockchain and stablecoin models within regulatory sandbox. Public consultation running through March 1, 2026 for framework refinements. Operates under EU MiCAR and Dutch 5AMLD implementation. AFM and DNB oversee licensing and reserve backing.
