Rules that are readable
MiCA gave the union one rulebook, and the Dutch supervisors read files with the experience of the prior registration era — predictable beats permissive when your licence is the product: the licensing route. The tax side is equally legible: private holdings in box 3, business in the BV, the boundary documented once: the founder’s map.
Talent and capital that exist
The Randstad ships protocol engineers, cryptographers out of the technical universities, and product people fluent in both DeFi and enterprise — hired from anywhere via the kennismigrant route: the hiring chapter. The capital scene pairs crypto-native funds with generalist growth money that stopped flinching at tokens several cycles ago: the financing map.
The structure kit
The standard chart: personal holdings, an operating BV, the licence (where needed) in its own entity, and the treasury under a written policy: the treasury chapter and the skeleton. Formation runs remotely in weeks — teams routinely incorporate before relocating: the route.
