In a renewed effort to pass legislation regulating Poland’s crypto-assets market, Prime Minister Donald Tusk is calling for another parliamentary vote to override a veto from President Karol Nawrocki. Tusk plans to request that Sejm Speaker Włodzimierz Czarzasty bring the matter before lawmakers once more. Nawrocki has thrice rejected the proposed legislation, with his most recent veto occurring in June, following earlier rejections in December 2025 and February 2026. The president remains firm that the bill fails to address significant concerns his office had previously raised during its formulation.
President Nawrocki has criticized the government for its focus on cryptocurrency, arguing that it overshadows essential amendments needed in the legislation itself. While Nawrocki has indicated a willingness to approve the bill if these issues are resolved, his opposition has led to heightened tensions with Tusk, who has linked the crypto-regulation debate to allegations involving political and media entities associated with the former ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party. Tusk alleges these groups are part of an organized network, with financial ties to the cryptocurrency sector.
The prime minister specifically pointed to the case involving Zondacrypto, a cryptocurrency exchange, describing the situation as increasingly concerning. Although Tusk has emphasized that law enforcement and prosecutorial investigations will proceed without government interference, he insists that parliament should revisit the vetoed legislation to address the underlying issues and push for a resolution.
The ongoing legislative dispute represents a significant clash between the Polish government and the presidency, with both sides holding firm positions on the proposed crypto-assets regulations. While Tusk is adamant about revisiting the veto, Nawrocki has maintained that the legislation requires substantial corrections before he can consider approval. As the debate continues, the outcome remains uncertain, with both parties seeking to influence the course of Poland’s approach to regulating its crypto-assets market.
