During a debate in the Dutch parliament, a state secretary grouped cryptocurrencies alongside cognac, gold, silver and Pokémon cards while explaining why crypto was not included in a proposed tax amendment, according to a post by Bitcoin News on X. The discussion then shifted to a possible tax gap created by that setup. In particular, crypto ETFs may end up falling under tax rules that differ from those applied to investors who hold cryptocurrencies directly. The report did not provide further detail on the proposed amendment itself, but it highlighted the prospect that two forms of crypto exposure could be treated differently for tax purposes in the Netherlands.
