Poland’s lower house backs sanctions bill covering crypto freezes

Summary

Poland’s Sejm passed a government-backed bill expanding national sanctions powers and explicitly allowing authorities to freeze crypto assets defined under the EU’s MiCA rules. The bill also broadens grounds for sanctions to cover certain foreign interference and information manipulation threatening national security. Designations would take effect the day after publication and could be enforced before an administrative court challenge is resolved. The Senate has 30 days to act; if it does not, the bill proceeds in its Sejm-approved form to the president.
