Netherlands is growing in the technological consumption aspect. It's calculated that 20% of the Europeans that own crypto are Dutch. That ranks as one of the [main reasons](https://beincrypto.com/major-crypto-exchange-kraken-secures-vasp-registration-netherlands/) to do business in this country. 

The sentiment about crypto in Europe seems to be optimistic and Netherlands is leading in this área.

## VASP Registration

This is a term on crypto that defines the necessary Virtual Assets Service Providers. They are the bridge between different assets from different blockchains and fiat. 

> Virtual asset service providers (VASPs) are entities that carry out exchanges between different forms of virtual assets or between virtual assets and fiat currencies. A VASP may also transfer virtual assets, administer them, or oversee their sale by an issuer’s office.  [Source](https://seon.io/resources/dictionary/virtual-asset-service-providers/.)

The importance of a VASP registrations comes from the need to legally convert assets into fiat, or move them around in a trusted way, specially when it's massive volumes and institutions are involved. Fiat usually requires a bank, unless the exchange is done in cash (not very common) and banks require information on the origin of the funds. Even when crypto can be managed in a anonymous way, once we require the fiat, we need to prove the ownership of the funds and the bank account. VASP help in the middle.

Kraken is a big exchange and I think this is also expanding its presence in many countries.
