Poland crypto regulation stalled again as president\'s veto stands
Poland\'s lower house again failed to overturn the president\'s veto of a cryptocurrency regulation bill, leaving a supervision gap in place. Lawmakers fell short of the 266 votes needed to override the veto. The bill would have implemented the EU\'s Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation and given the Polish Financial Supervision Authority oversight powers. The dispute comes as prosecutors investigate alleged fraud and money laundering linked to Zondacrypto.

Poland crypto regulation bill stalls as president and government clash
Poland’s effort to legislate cryptocurrency market rules is being delayed as the president and the government push competing bills. The country must incorporate the European Union’s MiCA framework into domestic law by July 1, 2026, but political conflict has slowed the process. President Karol Nawrocki submitted a separate bill to the Sejm after rejecting the government’s proposal twice. The government plans to resubmit its bill and tighten penalties after a recent exchange liquidity crisis.

Poland crypto law stalled by presidential veto, local industry accelerates move abroad
Poland has failed to pass legislation implementing the EU’s MiCA crypto framework after parliament could not override a presidential veto, leaving it the last EU member without domestic adoption. The dispute centres on a crypto assets market law vetoed twice by President Karol Nawrocki, who cited burdens on small firms. Industry groups criticise the bill as overly expansive and say it gives sweeping powers to the KNF regulator. Some companies are already considering or pursuing moves abroad.
