The Netherlands has experienced significant crypto fraud through fake investment platforms and ICO scams. The AFM regularly publishes warnings about unregistered crypto platforms targeting Dutch consumers.
Official Oversight: DNB (De Nederlandsche Bank) and AFM (Authority for the Financial Markets)
The Netherlands was an early adopter of crypto regulation, requiring all crypto service providers to register with DNB since 2020. Dutch courts have successfully ordered the seizure of crypto assets in fraud cases, and the FIOD (Fiscal Intelligence and Investigation Service) maintains a dedicated crypto forensic unit.
Our analysts have identified specific patterns of crypto fraud targeting residents in Netherlands. The most devastating is the "Pig Butchering" (Sha Zhu Pan) scam. Fraudsters build emotional trust over weeks via social media before introducing victims to a fake, manipulated trading platform. Once victims deposit their life savings, the platform locks the funds, demanding extortionate "tax" or "verification" fees to process withdrawals.
Another prevalent threat involves fake decentralized finance (DeFi) liquidity pools. Netherlands investors are lured into connecting their non-custodial wallets (like MetaMask) to malicious Web3 sites. The victim unknowingly signs a 'SetApprovalForAll' malicious smart contract, which instantly drains their USDT and ETH balances into the scammer’s wallet. Our forensics team specializes in decoding these specific smart contract exploits.
Dutch civil law allows for provisional attachment (conservatoir beslag) of crypto assets. Courts in Amsterdam have granted emergency orders to freeze exchange accounts, and the Dutch system supports rapid cross-border enforcement through EU mutual assistance treaties.
