Poland Approves Sweeping Crypto Regulation, Drawing Industry Criticism
Poland's lower parliamentary chamber has greenlit Bill 1424, establishing what analysts call the EU's most restrictive framework for digital asset services. The Crypto-Asset Market Act passed despite vocal opposition from industry participants who warn of stifled innovation.
The legislation positions Poland as a regional outlier in crypto oversight, exceeding baseline requirements under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. Market observers note the move contrasts with more progressive approaches seen in Germany and France.
