The Netherlands Plans to Amend Controversial Law Taxing Unrealized Gains on Cryptocurrencies
**February 26** — Dutch Finance Minister Eelco Heinen announced plans to revise a controversial crypto unrealized gains tax law passed earlier this month.
The bill, approved by the Dutch House of Representatives on Feb. 12, mandates a 36% tax on **unrealized** crypto gains—meaning investors would owe taxes even if they haven’t sold their holdings. Heinen told RTL Nieuws: “This bill shouldn’t stand as is. It’s clear there are issues that need fixing.”
The legislation still awaits Senate review and won’t take effect until at least Jan. 1, 2028. The Dutch Ministry of Finance says it will reassess the bill’s language and consult with lawmakers to decide whether to rewrite it entirely or make partial changes.

WLFI Governance Proposal: Participation in governance voting will require staking WLFI with a minimum lockup period of 180 days
**WLFI Proposes Governance Staking System to Boost Participation**
On February 26, WLFI rolled out a governance staking system aimed at getting more users involved in governance. Under the proposal, future governance voting with unlocked WLFI tokens will require staking—with a minimum 180-day lock-up period.
The system features a tiered node structure:
- Regular stakers will earn roughly a 2% annualized reward.
- Users staking 10 million WLFI (about $1 million) will qualify as nodes, gaining the perk of exchanging stablecoins like USDT and USDC at a 1:1 rate for USD 1.
- Those staking 50 million WLFI (about $5 million) will become super nodes, with direct collaboration opportunities with the WLFI team.
The proposal needs at least 1 billion WLFI in votes to be valid, and voting will last 7 days. If approved, implementation will happen in three phases.
