Industry News
The Dutch House of Representatives debated the Box 3 asset tax system reform plan on Monday. Although the plan remains controversial, because delaying implementation costs the treasury about €2.3 billion annually, a majority of parties including VVD, CDA, PVV, D66, and GroenLinks-PvdA indicated they would vote for the bill. Under the new plan, investors in stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrency must pay taxes on their gains annually, even if the related investments have not been liquidated. Caretaker government State Secretary for Taxation Eugène Heijen stated that while the government prefers taxing gains upon realization, this plan cannot be achieved before 2028, and the government cannot afford the cost of further delays.

CZ: Establishing a Global Crypto Regulatory Body Currently Doesn't Work
CZ stated at the World Economic Forum in Davos that banking, securities, and regulatory bodies are highly developed and mature, but the crypto industry is different. Currently, regulations for crypto vary greatly from country to country. For example, Binance has licenses in about 22 or 23 countries globally, but most countries in the world don't have a licensing system. The US is developing quickly in this regard, but it's still a work in progress. Countries like the UAE, Bahrain, and Pakistan have adopted relatively forward-looking regulatory systems and are willing to engage in dialogue with industry participants.
