Polish Government Urges President to Sign Crypto Bill to Align with EU Regulations
Poland's government has reintroduced the Cryptoasset Market Act after it was initially vetoed by President Karol Nawrocki. Prime Minister Donald Tusk has urged the president to sign the bill in order to address security threats linked to Russia and other former Soviet states. The legislation aims to align Poland's crypto regulations with the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regime. The government contends that the MiCA-aligned framework would provide a single rulebook for crypto oversight across Poland and the entire EU. Previously, Nawrocki blocked the legislation, arguing that it would impose overly stringent regulations that could threaten freedom, property, and state stability. The official register of crypto companies in Poland reportedly includes over 100 entities with direct links to Russia, Belarus, and other former Soviet states. The government has resubmitted the legislation without amendments.
