BTC$BTC SHOCKING: Dutch Tax Architect Resigns as 36% Wealth Tax Advances
Political chaos just hit the Netherlands.
Nathalie van Berkel, the Dutch State Secretary of Finance who championed a controversial 36% tax on unrealized gains, has abruptly resigned after revelations that she falsified her academic credentials on her CV. The scandal erupted just as public backlash against the proposed tax intensified.
But here’s the twist: the bill is still moving forward.
Despite over 35,000 citizens signing a petition opposing the measure, the Senate is set to vote on March 15. If passed, the tax will take effect on January 1, 2028, targeting stocks, $ETH ETFs, and crypto holdings alike.
A resignation changes the face — not the policy.
Will lawmakers push it through anyway, or is this the beginning of a bigger revolt?
