Poland resubmits vetoed crypto bill with ‘not even a comma’ changed
Summary
Polish lawmakers from the ruling coalition, specifically Polska2050, have reintroduced an extensive crypto bill (Bill 2050) that is virtually identical to Bill 1424, which President Karol Nawrocki had previously vetoed. Government spokesman Adam Szłapka reportedly stated that "not even a comma" was changed, despite calling it an "improved" successor. Critics, like politician Tomasz Mentzen, argue the bill is the same overregulation previously criticized. This legislative battle occurs as the EU rolls out the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). The Polish bill designates the local Financial Supervision Authority as the primary regulator, contrasting with calls from some EU members, like France, for more centralized oversight under the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). While the President may not veto the resubmitted bill this time after a security briefing, there is speculation about an alternative draft that aligns more closely with MiCA's framework.
