Polish Government Urges President to Sign Crypto Bill He Already Rejected: Report

CoinDesk
Poland's government resubmitted a vetoed crypto bill, urging the President to sign it due to Russian-linked security threats.

Summary

The Polish government has reintroduced the Cryptoasset Market Act, which aligns national regulations with the EU's MiCA regime, after President Karol Nawrocki vetoed it the previous week. Prime Minister Donald Tusk is urging the President to sign the legislation without amendments, citing national security concerns. Tusk stated that over 100 entities in Poland's crypto market register have direct links to Russia, Belarus, and former Soviet Union countries, asserting that cryptocurrencies are increasingly used for hostile activities and sabotage against the Polish state. President Nawrocki had initially rejected the bill, arguing it imposed overly stringent regulations that posed a threat to Polish citizens' freedom and state stability.
