Polish President Vetoes Crypto Bill Again, Blocking Tougher National Rules
Poland’s President Nawrocki has once again blocked a government-drafted cryptocurrency bill that would have imposed markedly tougher restrictions on local crypto businesses than those set by EU rules. The measure, advanced by Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s cabinet, drew criticism from industry groups and legal experts who warned it could undermine competitiveness and conflict with the bloc’s harmonized approach. The veto preserves the status quo and forces Warsaw to either revise the proposal or face a parliamentary attempt to override the president — a politically charged path that would prolong uncertainty. For crypto firms operating in Poland, the decision delays new compliance burdens but leaves questions about future national safeguards and alignment with European regulation. Market participants and policymakers will be watching how the cabinet responds and whether a reworked bill narrows the gap with EU standards.
