“The base amount [of the fine] has been increased due to the severity and degree of culpability of the noncompliance,” the Dutch central bank said, furthering that it had as well taken into consideration, the scale of Coinbase’s Dutch customer base and the competitive advantage the Coinbase has gained by not paying supervisory fees.
