What to know:

  • Poland's government has reintroduced a cryptocurrency bill that was vetoed by President Karol Nawrocki, with Prime Minister Donald Tusk urging its passage to address national security concerns linked to Russia and former Soviet states.
  • The Cryptoasset Market Act aims to align Poland's regulations with the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets regime, providing a unified framework for crypto oversight.
  • President Nawrocki vetoed the bill, citing concerns over stringent regulations that he believes threaten the freedom and stability of Polish citizens.

Poland’s government reintroduced a cryptocurrency bill vetoed last week by President Karol Nawrocki, with Prime Minister Donald Tusk urging him to sign the legislation to mitigate what officials say are national security threats linked to Russia and other former Soviet states, Rzeczpospolita reported.

The bill, formally known as the Cryptoasset Market Act, would align Poland’s regulatory framework with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regime, which establishes a single rulebook for crypto oversight across the bloc. The government resubmitted the legislation without amendments.

"Our official register of companies operating in the cryptocurrency market includes over 100 entities directly linked to Russia, Belarus, and the countries of the former Soviet Union,” Tusk said, according to the report. “This is a wake-up call, we must ensure the security of the state and its citizens in this matter."

Cryptocurrencies are increasingly used as instruments of hostile activity, underscoring the need for tighter supervision, Tusk said. "Unfortunately, cryptocurrencies often serve as a tool for sabotage, including by enemies of the Polish state, so basic control is all the more necessary and essential."

Nawrocki vetoed the legislation last week, arguing it would impose overly stringent regulations on the crypto market. In a statement on his website on Dec. 1, he said the legislation "poses a real threat to the freedom of Poles, their property and the stability of the state."

UPDATE (Dec. 12, 14:29 UTC): Changes verb in headline to Urges from Pressures.

UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach

The post UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. British crypto holders may soon face a very different landscape as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) moves to expand its regulatory reach in the industry. A new consultation paper outlines how the watchdog intends to apply its rulebook to crypto firms, shaping everything from asset safeguarding to trading platform operation. According to the financial regulator, these proposals would translate into clearer protections for retail investors and stricter oversight of crypto firms. UK FCA plans Until now, UK crypto users mostly encountered the FCA through rules on promotions and anti-money laundering checks. The consultation paper goes much further. It proposes direct oversight of stablecoin issuers, custodians, and crypto-asset trading platforms (CATPs). For investors, that means the wallets, exchanges, and coins they rely on could soon be subject to the same governance and resilience standards as traditional financial institutions. The regulator has also clarified that firms need official authorization before serving customers. This condition should, in theory, reduce the risk of sudden platform failures or unclear accountability. David Geale, the FCA’s executive director of payments and digital finance, said the proposals are designed to strike a balance between innovation and protection. He explained: “We want to develop a sustainable and competitive crypto sector – balancing innovation, market integrity and trust.” Geale noted that while the rules will not eliminate investment risks, they will create consistent standards, helping consumers understand what to expect from registered firms. Why does this matter for crypto holders? The UK regulatory framework shift would provide safer custody of assets, better disclosure of risks, and clearer recourse if something goes wrong. However, the regulator was also frank in its submission, arguing that no rulebook can eliminate the volatility or inherent risks of holding digital assets. Instead, the focus is on ensuring that when consumers choose to invest, they do…
