Polish Government Reintroduces Unchanged Crypto Law Amid Security Concerns
Poland’s government has reignited tensions with President Karol Nawrocki by readopting an unaltered version of its contentious crypto-asset market bill. Prime Minister Donald Tusk framed the move as a national security imperative, citing over 100 entities in Poland’s crypto registry with ties to Russia, Belarus, and former Soviet states.
The legislation, which exceeds EU regulatory thresholds, now returns to parliament despite presidential objections. Tusk warned of cryptocurrencies being weaponized by foreign adversaries, with investigations revealing Russian intelligence and organized crime groups leveraging digital assets for covert financing.
