【Dutch Crypto Industry Organization: New Tax Regime May Trigger Crypto-Asset Sell-Off】
A Dutch crypto industry organization warned that investors may sell crypto assets if cryptocurrencies are excluded from the proposed new capital gains tax regime. Under the current proposal from Dutch regulators, financial assets such as stocks, bonds, and options are scheduled to shift to capital gains taxation at the time of sale from 2028 year, while cryptocurrencies, gold, and foreign exchange may still be subject to annual taxation on unrealized gains until at least 2030 year.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
The proposed arrangement applies different tax timings to different assets: some financial assets are scheduled to be taxed at the time of sale, while cryptocurrencies and other assets may still be taxed annually on gains that have not yet been realized through a sale. The industry organization believes that this difference may prompt investors to sell crypto assets.
Why it matters to readers
If the proposal is implemented as described in the article, the timing of taxation for crypto-asset holders will differ from that for assets such as stocks, bonds, and options, and may affect whether investors continue to hold crypto assets.
Beginners should distinguish between “taxation at the time of sale” and “annual taxation on unrealized gains,” and note that this remains a proposed arrangement and a risk assessment put forward by the industry organization.
Risks and unknowns

The original text does not specify the names of the Dutch crypto industry organization or the Dutch regulatory authority.
