How ETH gains are taxed in Netherlands
Crypto isn't taxed as capital gains — it's included in Box 3 wealth tax, based on your total net assets on 1 January each year, regardless of whether you sold anything.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Register. Go to the Bybit official site and create an account.
Step 2: Verify ID. iDEAL deposits are tied directly to a verified Dutch bank account, which doubles as identity verification.
Step 3: Deposit EUR. Go to the “Wallet” section and select “Deposit”. Choose iDEAL for the lowest fees.
Step 4: Trade. Search for the pair ETH/EUR (or ETH/USDT) and click “Buy”.
