Poland’s Crypto Bill Clears Hurdle, Heads to Senate Amid EU Regulatory Push
Poland’s lower house voted 241-183 to advance the Crypto-Asset Market Act, marking its second parliamentary approval after a presidential veto. The legislation—aimed at aligning with the EU’s MiCA framework—now faces Senate scrutiny as Poland remains the only EU member without a domestic crypto regulatory structure.
President Andrzej Duda’s December veto cited threats to ‘freedoms and state stability,’ but lawmakers revived the unchanged bill. The deadlock contrasts with proactive MiCA adoption in Germany, Malta, and Lithuania, where crypto licensing is already underway.
