Predictable rules
With MiCA, the EU has one set of rules. The Dutch supervisors assess files with experience from the earlier registration regime. If your licence is your product, you need predictable supervision. See the licensing steps. For tax, private holdings are taxed in box 3 and business activity belongs in the BV. You document the boundary once. See the founder's guide.
Talent and capital
In the Randstad region, you find protocol engineers, cryptographers from the technical universities and product people who know both DeFi and enterprise clients. You can also hire from anywhere with the highly skilled migrant permit (kennismigrant). See hiring international developers. For capital, there are crypto funds and general growth investors who have been comfortable with tokens for several market cycles. See the financing overview.
The standard structure
The standard structure has personal holdings, an operating BV, the licence in its own company where needed, and the treasury under a written policy. See the treasury chapter and the startup holding structure. The incorporation is done remotely and takes weeks. Teams often incorporate before they relocate. See the incorporation steps.
