Polish parliament approves revived crypto bill, heads to Senate

Cointelegraph
The Polish parliament's lower house passed a revived, unchanged crypto bill, sending it to the Senate despite prior presidential veto.

Summary

The Sejm, Poland's lower house of the legislature, has once again passed the Crypto-Assets Market Act, which aims to align Polish regulations with the EU's MiCA framework, following President Karol Nawrocki's previous veto. The bill, which passed with a vote of 241 to 183, was reintroduced last week without any changes, drawing criticism from some lawmakers and industry advocates who view it as overly restrictive. Nawrocki had vetoed the initial version in December, citing threats to Polish freedoms and property. The bill now moves to the Senate for review, after which it may return to the President's desk. A government spokesperson suggested the bill is likely to be signed this time, following a security briefing that provided the President with "full knowledge" of its national security implications, despite his previous campaign statements opposing "oppressive laws" in the digital asset industry.
