What to know:

  • President Karol Nawrocki of Poland has refused to sign a bill that would have imposed sterner regulations on the cryptocurrency market.
  • The president vetoed provisions of the bill on the basis that they "pose a real threat to the freedom of Poles."
  • "Overregulation is a surefire way to push companies abroad instead of creating the conditions for them to earn and pay taxes in Poland," according to the president.

President Karol Nawrocki of Poland has refused to sign a bill that he believed would have imposed overly-stern regulations on the cryptocurrency market.

The president vetoed provisions of the bill on the basis that they "pose a real threat to the freedom of Poles, their property and the stability of the state," according to an update on his website on Monday.

The Cryptoasset Market Act was Poland's legislation to bring it in line with the European Union's (EU) Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, which is the bloc's framework to establish a single rulebook for oversight of the crypto industry.

President Narwocki was concerned that the act would allow the government to disable crypto companies websites "with a single click," and that the regulation on domain blocking lack transparency and were open to abuse.

The act would also risk pushing companies abroad to Poland's neighbors such as the Czech Republic and Slovakia due to being overly long and complex. While equivalent acts in these countries are only a dozen pages long, Poland's proposed act had over 100. Furthermore, the regulatory fees would favor corporations and banks at the expense of startups, who would be prevented from developing, according to the president.

"Overregulation is a surefire way to push companies abroad instead of creating the conditions for them to earn and pay taxes in Poland," the update said.

Nawrocki, who was elected in June this year, ran as an independent candidate but was supported by the country's right-wing party, Law and Justice, currently the opposition to the governing coalition led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

Poland's semi-presidential system of government means the president does not have the same executive power that the president does in the U.S., for example. The power of veto is one of the most significant tools the president can wield. A veto can then only be overturned by a three-fifths majority in the Sejm, Poland's parliament.

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales offload 200 million XRP leaving market uncertainty behind. XRP faces potential collapse as whales drive major price shifts. Is XRP’s future in danger after massive sell-off by whales? XRP’s price has been under intense pressure recently as whales reportedly offloaded a staggering 200 million XRP over the past two weeks. This massive sell-off has raised alarms across the cryptocurrency community, as many wonder if the market is on the brink of collapse or just undergoing a temporary correction. According to crypto analyst Ali (@ali_charts), this surge in whale activity correlates directly with the price fluctuations seen in the past few weeks. XRP experienced a sharp spike in late July and early August, but the price quickly reversed as whales began to sell their holdings in large quantities. The increased volume during this period highlights the intensity of the sell-off, leaving many traders to question the future of XRP’s value.

Can XRP Recover or Is a Bigger Decline Ahead? As the market absorbs the effects of the whale offload, technical indicators suggest that XRP may be facing a period of consolidation. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently sitting at 53.05, signals a neutral market stance, indicating that XRP could move in either direction. This leaves traders uncertain whether the XRP will break above its current resistance levels or continue to fall as more whales sell off their holdings. Source: Tradingview Additionally, the Bollinger Bands, suggest that XRP is nearing the upper limits of its range. This often points to a potential slowdown or pullback in price, further raising concerns about the future direction of the XRP. With the price currently around $3.02, many are questioning whether XRP can regain its footing or if it will continue to decline. The Aftermath of Whale Activity: Is XRP’s Future in Danger? Despite the large sell-off, XRP is not yet showing signs of total collapse. However, the market remains fragile, and the price is likely to remain volatile in the coming days. With whales continuing to influence price movements, many investors are watching closely to see if this trend will reverse or intensify. The coming weeks will be critical for determining whether XRP can stabilize or face further declines. The combination of whale offloading and technical indicators suggest that XRP’s price is at a crossroads. Traders and investors alike are waiting for clear signals to determine if the XRP will bounce back or continue its downward trajectory.
