Polish Parliament Approves Crypto-Asset Market Act Amid Regulatory Scrutiny
Poland's lower house of parliament, the Sejm, has passed the Crypto-Asset Market Act, marking a pivotal step in aligning national regulations with the EU's Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework. The bill, backed by 241 deputies, survived two presidential vetoes and political infighting. Its passage follows the collapse of Zondacrypto, a local exchange, which ignited debates over consumer protection and potential Russian influence in the crypto sector.
The legislation mandates annual reporting by financial authorities on the state of Poland's crypto market—a concession borrowed from alternative proposals. Regulatory clarity arrives as European nations race to implement MiCA ahead of its 2024 deadline, with Poland's move likely to influence regional compliance trends.
