Polish Parliament Approves Revived Crypto Bill, Heads to Senate
Poland’s Sejm has again passed the Crypto-Assets Market Act, legislation aimed at aligning the country’s cryptocurrency regulations with the European Union’s MiCA framework, which requires member states to comply by July 2026. The bill, previously vetoed by President Karol Nawrocki over concerns about threats to personal freedoms, property, and state stability, was passed unchanged and is now headed to the Senate. Critics argue the legislation could harm Poland’s crypto market and users. A government spokesperson indicated the president is likely to sign the bill after a classified security briefing clarified its national security implications. President Nawrocki, in office since August, previously campaigned against restrictive crypto regulations, promising innovation over strict controls. The law’s fate depends on the Senate’s approval and potential presidential reconsideration.
