Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe criticized the Dutch government's plan to apply a 36% tax rate to unrealized gains from cryptocurrencies like BTC starting in 2028. He stated via X, "They plan to impose a 36% tax on unrealized gains from cryptocurrencies like BTC starting January 1, 2028, and apply this system for at least two years," calling it a "disastrous decision." Meanwhile, according to the Dutch government's website, the related bill passed the lower house in February, and deliberation by the upper house remains. The government aims for implementation on January 1, 2028, and is also considering some adjustments to the bill.
