Why is the Netherlands an attractive market for property tokenization?
Twin-peaks regulation (AFM + DNB), zero capital gains tax on primary residences, and Europe's first regulated blockchain securities exchange (NPEX + Dusk).
Twin-Peaks Regulation (AFM + DNB)
The AFM regulates conduct and licensing of crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) under MiCA; DNB oversees stablecoins (Electronic Money Tokens and Asset Referenced Tokens). This clear dual-authority structure accelerates approvals. MiCA full implementation since December 30, 2024, with Netherlands requiring CASP license compliance by July 1, 2025 — among the shortest EU transitional periods
Zero Capital Gains Tax on Primary Residences
Primary residence sales in the Netherlands incur zero capital gains tax, making it uniquely attractive for residential real estate tokenization. Secondary properties and investments fall under Box 3 wealth tax (transitioning to capital gains in 2028). This tax advantage, combined with MiCA regulatory clarity, opens low-friction tokenization routes
Blockchain-Integrated Securities Exchange (NPEX + Dusk)
NPEX, licensed as a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) under MiFID II, launched partnerships in February 2025 with Dusk blockchain for tokenized securities trading and RWA custody. Cordial Systems provides zero-trust custody. This is Europe’s first regulated securities exchange leveraging blockchain infrastructure at scale, eliminating secondary market friction
Strong Property Market with Institutional Demand
€488K average property price with 6–8% annual growth. Amsterdam at €632K, Rotterdam at €406K. Institutional capital seeking yield drives demand for fractional ownership and tokenized entry. EU pension funds and international investors actively seeking Dutch residential assets
