Dutch central bank puts household crypto holdings at €3.2 billion in first estimate

  • —Dutch households held €3.2 billion in crypto with domestic providers at end-June 2026
  • —Bitcoin made up €1.5 billion of the total, Ethereum €300 million, stablecoins under 1%
  • —DNB had previously published only data on indirect crypto exposure via exchange products
  • —The figure is a snapshot tied to coin prices, not deposited amounts or profit and loss
Why it matters: The DNB closes a gap in national statistics, giving the regulator its first view of direct household crypto exposure, which matters for oversight and tax policy.
