Poland’s president vetoes strict crypto bill, says it threatens ‘freedoms of Poles’

Polish President Karol Nawrocki vetoed the Crypto-Asset Market Act, citing overregulation risks, fueling a clash between officials and crypto advocates.

Nawrocki vetoed Poland’s Crypto-Asset Market Act, saying its provisions “genuinely threaten the freedoms of Poles, their property, and the stability of the state,” according to a statement by the president’s press office on Monday.

Introduced in June, the bill has drawn criticism from industry advocates such as Polish politician Tomasz Mentzen, who had anticipated the president’s refusal to sign it as it cleared parliamentary approval.

Although crypto advocates welcomed the veto as a win for the market, several government officials condemned the move, claiming the president had “chosen chaos” and must bear full responsibility for the outcome.
