TechFlow, December 19 — According to CoinDesk, Poland's Sejm (lower house of parliament) has once again passed the previously vetoed "Cryptocurrency Asset Markets Act," sending it to the Senate for further deliberation.
The bill was approved on Thursday by 241 lawmakers, with content identical to the earlier rejected version. The legislation aims to align Polish law with the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), but critics argue that it exceeds EU standards by granting Poland’s Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) overly broad enforcement powers, including website blocking and multi-million zloty fines.
Nawrocki had previously vetoed the bill, citing vague legal provisions, excessive regulation, and high compliance costs, warning that certain clauses could harm small businesses and enable "one-click" domain shutdowns. Despite opposition, Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government resubmitted the bill unchanged. After Senate review, the bill may face another presidential veto.
