Holland’s fintech ambassador Willem Vermeend told the publication:
"There is a lot of creativity in the Netherlands. The problem is that I have spoken to twenty parties who do not know what the other is doing."
Last month, De Nederlandsche Bank’s head of market infrastructures policy department, Ron Berndsen, described in detail the bank’s experiments with bitcoin and hinted at future experiments pertaining to digital assets and more.
The news further comes amid an increase in interest in the technology at global central banks, with Bank of Canada and Bank of England announcing experiments with the technology in recent weeks.
