Poland failed to override the presidential veto of the bill on the regulation of the market for digital assets (MiCA). It needed at least three-fifths of the votes of deputies, but such support could not be achieved, Bloomberg reports.
According to journalists, Prime Minister Donald Tusk called for the adoption of the document, emphasizing that it is critical for national security. The law was supposed to implement European standards, in particular the provisions of the MiCA regulation. According to the politician, the lack of control over the industry poses a threat from foreign intelligence services.
Bloomberg added that Poland remains the last EU country that has not implemented regulation of the cryptocurrency sector.
Tusk also said in parliament that the bill should give authorities the tools to control the unregulated market, where the government estimates Russian intelligence services, criminal groups and money laundering are operating.
He also noted that the Polish crypto industry, according to the government, has already been infiltrated by “several hundred” foreign structures, in particular from Russia and Belarus.
Recall, in early December 2025, Polish President Karol Nawrocki blocked the bill on the regulation of cryptoassets, arguing his decision that the document could pose a threat to civil liberties, business and market stability.
