2026/08/19

Dutch households saw their investment portfolios surge—not from buying more, but because existing stocks soared, especially fueled by the SpaceX IPO frenzy.

Amsterdam News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! ·

2026/08/19

Dutch towns are cashing in big on tourist taxes, with Amsterdam leading the charge—now pulling in over 23% of its revenue from this source.

Ajax fans are furious as their crucial UEFA Conference League play-off against FC Sion is being streamed on KIJK for $4.99 — a move that’s sparking outrage since Ziggo Sport, Ajax’s main shirt sponsor, isn’t broadcasting it.

2026/08/18

Dating apps are crashing—Tinder and Bumble down 14% and 9% respectively in the Netherlands, mirroring declines across the US and UK. But one app is soaring: Breeze, which skips chatting entirely and books real dates fast, up from 26,000 to 36,000 last year. Why? Gen Z sees dating apps as addictive traps, not romance tools—and they’re tired of AI gimmicks and endless swiping. The pandemic’s legacy? A hunger for authentic, in-person connections. The future of dating? Less screens, more soul.
