Starting a crypto exchange in the Netherlands
The Netherlands has experienced a lot of Bitcoin and crypto initiatives in the early days of the new Digital currencies. The Netherlands is home to several Bitcoin and crypto vendors, who buy and sell cryptocurrency, as well as a Bitcoin exchange.
The platform has offered some insight into the regulatory framework of the Dutch Central Bank (The Financial Markets regulator). The position of the Dutch Central Bank, according to the platform is that a crypto exchange does not need a license, as long as general KYC practices are met. Customers need to be adequately identified, and Anti Money Laundering policy and compliance need to be met, which is more or less comparable to the customer identification standards of Dutch law firms.
The lenient stance on cryptocurrency exchanges has not been noticed by the main crypto platforms to date. Not only the Dutch regulators are open to Crypto platforms, a variety of Dutch banks have- and are currently facilitating the Dutch Crypto vendors- and exchanges.
The Netherlands could be an easy access to the European market, with a warm stance on crypto companies and a stable investment climate and clear regulations.
