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.

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
