What to know:
- Poland's lower house of parliament passed a crypto regulation bill previously vetoed by President Nawrocki, sending it to the Senate for further debate.
- The bill aligns with the EU's MiCA regulation, but is criticized for granting excessive powers to the Polish Financial Supervision Authority.
- Prime Minister Tusk's government reintroduced the bill unchanged, emphasizing its importance for national crypto market oversight.
Poland’s lower house of parliament,the Sejm, passed a sweeping bill to regulate the crypto industry, reviving legislation previously vetoed by President Karol Nawrocki and sending it to the Senate for further debate.
The Crypto-Asset Market Act, approved Thursday by 241 lawmakers in the Sejm, remains unchanged from the version struck down earlier this month, the Sejm’s press office told CoinDesk.

“The bill went through readings by the members of parliament on Thursday and it has been voted and approved by them and sent to the Senate, where they will debate and if they approve it goes to the president, if not, if they reject it, it comes back to the Sejm,” a spokesperson explained.
The bill is intended to align Polish law with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. But critics, including Nawrocki and members of Poland’s crypto industry, argue it goes significantly beyond EU standards, granting the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) broad enforcement powers, including website blocking and multimillion-zloty fines.
Nawrocki’s office cited the law’s ambiguity, overreach and high compliance costs as reasons for the initial veto, warning that the provisions could damage smaller firms and allow “one-click” domain shutdowns, an approach not taken by most EU countries. The bill’s size, over 100 pages, also drew criticism for being excessive compared with simpler implementations seen elsewhere in the region.
Despite the objections, Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government reintroduced the law without revisions, portraying its passage as critical for national oversight of crypto markets. With the Senate now set to review the legislation, the bill may face another showdown with the president, who retains the power to veto it once more.

Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference
The post Michael Saylor Pushes Digital Capital Narrative At Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The suitcoiners are in town. From a low-key, circular podium in the middle of a lavish New York City event hall, Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor took the mic and opened the Bitcoin Treasuries Unconference event. He joked awkwardly about the orange ties, dresses, caps and other merch to the (mostly male) audience of who’s-who in the bitcoin treasury company world. Once he got onto the regular beat, it was much of the same: calm and relaxed, speaking freely and with confidence, his keynote was heavy on the metaphors and larger historical stories. Treasury companies are like Rockefeller’s Standard Oil in its early years, Michael Saylor said: We’ve just discovered crude oil and now we’re making sense of the myriad ways in which we can use it — the automobile revolution and jet fuel is still well ahead of us. Established, trillion-dollar companies not using AI because of “security concerns” make them slow and stupid — just like companies and individuals rejecting digital assets now make them poor and weak. “I’d like to think that we understood our business five years ago; we didn’t.” We went from a defensive investment into bitcoin, Saylor said, to opportunistic, to strategic, and finally transformational; “only then did we realize that we were different.” Michael Saylor: You Come Into My Financial History House?! Jokes aside, Michael Saylor is very welcome to the warm waters of our financial past. He acquitted himself honorably by invoking the British Consol — though mispronouncing it, and misdating it to the 1780s; Pelham’s consolidation of debts happened in the 1750s and perpetual government debt existed well before then — and comparing it to the gold standard and the future of bitcoin. He’s right that Strategy’s STRC product in many ways imitates the consols; irredeemable, perpetual debt, issued at par, with…
