Polish Senate Tightens Crypto Regulations Amid Industry Backlash
Poland's Senate has approved a controversial crypto-asset bill with stricter amendments, rejecting earlier proposals to reduce issuer fees. The legislation now imposes a 0.5% supervisory fee—higher than the 0.1% initially proposed—and sets a €500 minimum charge, sparking concerns from local crypto businesses.
The draft law, criticized as overly restrictive compared to EU standards, threatens smaller firms with compliance costs. Industry representatives warn the regulations could stifle innovation and drive companies out of Poland's digital asset market.
