🇵🇱 Poland’s Crypto Drama: Vetoes, Fiascos, and Freedom Fries 🍟

by

Well, butter my biscuit and call me confused! 🧈 According to the latest gossip (I mean, report), Poland’s lower house of parliament couldn’t muster the energy to overturn President Karol Nawrocki’s veto of the Crypto-Asset Market Act. Yep, the same bill that was supposed to make Poland the crypto prom queen of the EU. 👑 Earlier this week, President Nawrocki was like, “Nah, I’m good,” and vetoed it faster than I veto a second slice of pizza. 🍕

Why Did President Nawrocki Say “Hard Pass” to the Crypto Bill? 🤔

On Friday, December 5 (aka National “I’m Too Lazy to Override a Veto” Day), Bloomberg spilled the tea that Poland’s parliament couldn’t get the three-fifths majority vote needed to slap down the President’s veto. This bill, which debuted in June 2025 like a forgotten summer fling, was supposed to align Poland with the EU’s MiCA framework. But Nawrocki was like, “Overregulation? More like over-dramatic. 🚫” He’s worried it’ll scare away companies, investors, and probably the neighborhood cats. 🐱

Apparently, the bill was so extra it made the EU’s minimum requirements look like a minimalist’s dream. 🛋️ It demanded Crypto Asset Service Providers get a license from the Polish Financial Service Authority (KNF) and threatened fines and jail time for rule-breakers. Because nothing says “innovation” like a little legal intimidation, right? 👮‍♂️

Meanwhile, the crypto community in Poland was already side-eyeing this bill back in September, probably while sipping their pierogi-flavored smoothies. 🥤 They’re like, “Thanks, but no thanks, we’re good with less regulation, not more.”

Supporters of the bill, however, were all, “But fraud! But bad actors!” 🦹‍♂️ Because apparently, the only way to fight crime is to smother the industry in red tape. 📜

Poland’s Presidency Calls It a Legal Fiasco 🎭

Rafael Leskiewicz, the President’s press secretary, took to social media (probably while scrolling through memes) to clap back at the lawmakers. He called the Crypto-Asset Market Act a “legal fiasco” and the veto override attempt a “political maneuver.” 🕺 Basically, he’s like, “Y’all tried it, but this bill is trash. 🗑️” Leskiewicz added, “The President exposed the low quality of this legislation. We need monitoring, not a business-killing monster.” 💼

“Bad law should not be created that restricts the freedom to conduct business activities.” – Leskiewicz, probably while sipping tea. 🍵

President Nawrocki, who’s been flexing his pro-Bitcoin muscles since June, is all about vetoing restrictions and letting the crypto market breathe. 🌬️ Meanwhile, Polish households are adopting crypto like it’s the latest TikTok trend, with 7.9 million users expected by year-end. 📈
