June 19 (Cointime) - Despite Binance's failed registration as a virtual asset service provider (VASP) in the Netherlands, CEO Changpeng Zhao has stated that the country's stance towards crypto remains "pretty progressive." The Dutch Central Bank, De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB), has been criticized for refusing to grant foreign entities licenses to operate in the country, but Zhao urged not to read too much into it.
Binance withdrew from the Dutch market on June 16 after failing to register as a VASP, despite complying with EU standards in other countries. The Netherlands has adopted strict measures towards regulating the crypto industry, with over 30 registered crypto service providers operating in the country.
