Dutch law requires crypto providers to register under anti-money laundering and terrorist financing norms.
"The base amount [of the fine] has been increased due to the severity and degree of culpability of the non-compliance," the Dutch central bank said, adding that it had also taken account of the scale of Coinbase's Dutch customer base and the competitive advantage it had gained by not paying supervisory fees.
Coinbase, which has until March 2 to object to the administrative fine, told CoinDesk it disagreed with the enforcement order and is"carefully considering the objections and appeals process." The order"is based on the time it took for Coinbase to obtain our registration in the Netherlands and includes no criticism of our actual services," a Coinbase spokesperson said."Coinbase is committed to compliance in all jurisdictions in which it operates and will continue to provide safe, trusted services to new and existing Dutch customers."
