Monitoring crypto is more effective than a ban Dutch finance minister says
Dutch Finance Minister Wopke Hoekstra said monitoring of crypto would be “more effective” than an outright ban. This comment was a response to the head of Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis that called for a total ban.
It is important that there are rules for cryptocurrency providers
Hoekstra, the finance minister of the Netherlands since 2017 and leader of the party Christian Democratic Appeal, says it is important that there are rules for cryptocurrency providers, for example, because of "the dangers that exist in terms of money laundering." The minister also stressed that he first warned about the risks of investing in Bitcoin at the beginning of his position as minister, in 2017. Monitoring and supervising cryptocurrency would be preferable: "My observation now is that this is more effective than a total ban in the Netherlands," Hoekstra said.The comments on cryptocurrencies were a response to an opinion in the local newspaper
The Minister of Finance made comments on cryptocurrencies because of an opinion written in a local newspaper by the head of the Economic Policy Analysis office, which stated that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies should be banned and have no intrinsic value. The opinion in the newspaper led to a lot of criticism from the Dutch crypto community and even a response in the newspaper from Dutch journalist Bert Slagter, who writes about cryptocurrencies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
