Crypto Industry Watches As Poland Advances Long-Delayed Regulatory Bill

Poland's parliament has passed a long-delayed cryptocurrency regulatory bill, driven by urgency following a fraud scandal at a local exchange. Prime Minister Donald Tusk cited the Zondacrypto case, where users lost access to funds and which had alleged Russian ties, as proof of the need for investor protections. The approved bill grants Poland's Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) broad powers to oversee the market, impose penalties, and block accounts or transactions. However, the legislation faces potential rejection, as it retains contentious account-blocking provisions that led President Karol Nawrocki to veto two prior versions. Critics argue it lacks sufficient judicial oversight. A third veto would prolong regulatory uncertainty as Poland races to align with the EU's MiCA framework by a July deadline. The bill prevailed over three other competing proposals in a parliamentary vote.
