Polish Government Urges President to Sign Rejected Crypto Bill
- Polish government reapproves crypto bill previously vetoed by President Nawrocki.
- Effort made to align Poland with EU MiCA regulations.
- Market lacks MiCA-compliant laws, impacting domestic crypto firms.
The Polish government, led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, reapproved a cryptoassets bill urging President Karol Nawrocki to sign it, despite his previous veto, creating legislative tension.
Poland remains the EU’s last country without MiCA-compliant crypto laws, potentially impacting national security and market regulation amid concerns over Russian infiltration.
The Polish government, led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, has urged President Karol Nawrocki to sign a crypto bill he had vetoed earlier in December 2025. The bill aims to implement EU MiCA regulations.
Donald Tusk, representing the ruling Civic Coalition, expressed national security concerns, citing Russian influence in crypto markets. President Nawrocki, aligned with the right-wing, vetoed the bill, citing excessive restriction concerns.
The veto affects the Polish crypto industry, leaving it without MiCA-compliant regulations. This delay could expose Poland to potential illicit activities. Tusk highlighted risks associated with this lack of regulation.
The financial market is impacted as Poland remains the only EU nation without such laws. The failed veto override leaves 20% of crypto users at risk in an unregulated market, according to Finance Minister Andrzej Domański.
The political landscape reflects ongoing tensions between government and opposition leaders. Market observers note the increasing urgency to comply with EU standards. The delay hinders domestic crypto firms’ capabilities.
Historical trends indicate rare presidential veto overrides in Poland, last seen in 2009. Marek Stiller, a journalist, stated, “The attempt to override the veto failed, leaving Poland as the EU’s only country without MiCA-compliant crypto laws.”
