A proposed change to the Netherlands' 2028 Box 3 tax regime could subject gains on crypto assets held in self-custody wallets to annual taxation, even if the investor has not sold the assets, according to a post by Bitcoin News on X. The reported approach would set self-custodied holdings apart from crypto kept through banks or standard investment accounts, where taxes would generally apply when gains are realized. The proposal has already passed the Dutch House of Representatives, but it has not yet become law. It still needs approval from the Senate before taking effect. The update points to a possible difference in tax treatment based on how crypto is held, with self-custody wallets facing annual taxation on gains under the proposed framework.

By contrast, crypto assets held through banks or regular investment accounts would generally be taxed when gains are realized.
