The Sejm passed the Act on Restrictive Measures by a 240-202 vote, expanding the government's power to freeze crypto assets under national sanctions and broadening grounds for security-related designations.
Poland's Sejm passed a bill on Friday by 240 votes to 202 that explicitly includes crypto assets under MiCA among funds authorities can freeze under national sanctions. This tightens enforcement reach but is a national sanctions framework, not a broad market restriction, so the effect on crypto prices is limited. The Senate has 30 days to act, leaving the outcome still open.
Poland’s lower house, the Sejm, approved a bill on Friday that explicitly adds crypto assets to the list of funds authorities can freeze under national sanctions. The legislation, which aligns with the EU's MiCA regulation, now moves to the Senate, which has 30 days to review the measure before it proceeds to the president.
No. The bill only adds crypto assets, as defined under the EU's MiCA regulation, to the funds that can be frozen when someone is placed on Poland's national sanctions list.
Not yet. The bill goes to the Senate, which has 30 days to approve, amend or reject it; if it does nothing, the bill proceeds to the president in its passed form.
