Poland’s Crypto Oversight in Jeopardy After President Rejects MiCA Bill Again
Poland’s path to regulating digital assets has hit another roadblock. President Karol Nawrocki has vetoed a second piece of legislation aimed at harmonizing the country’s rules with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, prompting local crypto companies to activate contingency plans abroad.
According to a statement from the president’s office on Thursday, Nawrocki declined to sign Bill 2064 last week. The move mirrors his rejection of a similar bill in December, with the office noting that the new proposal was “practically identical” to the previous version. This repeated veto casts doubt on when, or if, a local implementation law will pass before the EU deadline.
The timing intensifies the pressure on the domestic market. The Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) has already flagged that the nation has not yet appointed a competent authority to oversee the crypto industry. This gap must be filled by July 1, 2026, when the MiCA transition period officially ends.
