Poland’s President Karol Nawrocki is reportedly leaning towards approving a crypto asset regulation bill proposed by Polska 2050, following two previous vetoes of government drafts.
Initial Vetoes and Government Response
President Karol Nawrocki previously vetoed government bills concerning crypto assets in December 2025 and February 2026. The Sejm failed to override either veto, prompting the government to resubmit the project to parliament.
Polska 2050’s Alternative Proposal
In December 2025, Polska 2050 submitted its own draft legislation, aiming to address concerns raised by the President in his veto justifications. The party argued their version incorporated improvements, including a five-fold reduction in token emission fees and removal of perceived overregulation.
Adam Gomoła of Polska 2050 stated the proposal closely mirrored the government’s draft but addressed the Presidential Palace’s arguments, focusing on implementing the EU’s MiCA regulation (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) to unlock crypto asset development in Poland.
Gomoła: A “Rescue Project” for the Polish Market
Adam Gomoła described the Polska 2050 bill as a “rescue project” for the Polish crypto market, potentially bridging divides and securing presidential support. He emphasized the extensive work and education undertaken to garner backing for the proposal.
Gomoła also suggested the President’s potential support would be an attempt to rectify past errors, potentially linked to the Zondacrytpo affair and losses of hundreds of millions of złoty for Polish investors.
Positive Signals from the President’s Office
Positive signals from the President’s office emerged as early as December, with Zbigniew Bogucki, a presidential minister, reportedly expressing favorable views on the bill. President Nawrocki himself appeared to endorse the Polska 2050 proposal during a recent interview.
Legislative Success is Key
Gomoła stressed the importance of legislative success, stating that the authorship of the bill was secondary to achieving effective investor protection and enabling legal operations within the crypto sector.
Securing Broad Parliamentary Support
Polska 2050 has engaged in discussions with Konfederacja, but faces resistance from parts of the ruling coalition, which prefers a government-led initiative. Gomoła expressed hope for a revised approach.
He believes the dispute now centers on political authorship rather than the bill’s content, emphasizing its collaborative development and urging an end to political maneuvering that harms Polish citizens.
MiCA Implementation at Stake
During a December press conference, Polska 2050 representatives warned that the legislative deadlock was harming the crypto industry, describing the market as “in a coma.” The lack of MiCA-compliant regulations was hindering new business ventures, and failure to pass the law could force existing businesses to cease operations by July 1st.
Multiple Proposals in the Sejm
Besides Polska 2050’s proposal, the Sejm is also considering initiatives from Konfederacja, Ryszard Petru, and a revised draft from Finance Minister Andrzej Domański. The timing and acceptance of the Polska 2050 bill remain uncertain.
