Polish Lawmakers Fail To Override President’s Veto On Crypto Market Bill
Poland's lower parliament failed to secure the three-fifths majority needed to override President Andrzej Duda's veto of the Crypto-Asset Market Act, legislation designed to align the country with the EU's MiCA framework. The bill, introduced in June 2025, sought to impose stricter regulations on digital assets but faced opposition over concerns about overregulation stifling innovation and economic freedom.
President Duda argued the proposed rules threatened Poles' property rights and market stability, echoing earlier criticisms from the crypto community. The legislation had drawn scrutiny for exceeding EU minimum requirements, sparking debates about balancing oversight with industry growth.
