Spot crypto is legal and supervised: the AFM is the competent authority for crypto-asset service providers under MiCAR, it handles CASP licence applications under article 63 MiCAR and notifications from other financial institutions under article 60, and a provider needs a licence or notification from the AFM or another European supervisor before it may offer custody, operate a trading platform, exchange crypto for funds or for other crypto, execute or transmit orders, place crypto, manage portfolios or advise. A Dutch resident can also be served by a CASP passported in from elsewhere in the EEA - Kraken, for instance, serves the Netherlands on an Irish MiCA authorisation.
The contract itself does not change by geography: a CC perpetual settles in USDC everywhere.
