Poland Passes Crypto Bill to Align with MiCA Framework
Poland‘s lower house of parliament has approved a government-backed bill designed to align the country’s crypto regulations with the European Union‘s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). The legislation passed with a 241–200 vote on May 15, 2026, during the Sejm’s 57th sitting in Warsaw. However, lingering disputes over enforcement powers and previous presidential vetoes signal that the road to implementation is far from clear. The new bill, labeled No. 2529, grants oversight authority to the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF), including powers to impose administrative sanctions and block accounts and transactions temporarily. Backed by the Ministry of Finance, the proposal consolidates earlier drafts, including competing bills from the president and opposition parties, as well as a parliamentary draft. Notably, the opposition Law and Justice party had pitched a separate, more extreme proposal to ban all crypto activity in Poland, which failed to gain traction. This marks the third attempt to pass a crypto regulatory framework following two earlier vetoes by President Karol Nawrocki. Critics of the bill have pointed out that it fails to address key concerns raised by the president, including judicial oversight for KNF‘s blocking powers. Market participants now question whether Nawrocki will veto the legislation again, leaving Poland’s MiCA
