Local context
MiCAR and Dutch supervision add a provider-level verification step. The AFM register is the practical reference for checking whether a crypto-asset service provider is permitted to offer the relevant services in the Netherlands.
The AFM maintains a register of crypto-asset service providers that hold an authorisation or notification relevant to the Netherlands. Users should verify the provider and the permitted services independently from any market view.
