Dutch crypto industry warns wealth tax overhaul may spur investor selling

The Dutch cryptocurrency industry raised concerns that the government’s proposed wealth tax overhaul could lead investors to sell crypto assets, Crypto Briefing reported. Under the current tax code, cryptocurrencies are classified as other assets and taxed based on assumed returns rather than actual gains. The proposed revision could include taxing annual real returns, including unrealized gains, drawing stronger pushback from the industry. Industry officials warned the approach could intensify crypto selling and accelerate an investor exodus if adopted.
