In a significant legislative development in Poland, the Sejm has once again been unable to overturn President Karol Nawrocki’s veto on a proposed bill aimed at regulating the country’s crypto asset market. This marks the third time the parliament has failed to gather sufficient support to push the legislation through, highlighting ongoing challenges in the nation’s approach to cryptocurrency regulation.
During Friday’s parliamentary session, 442 members cast their votes, with 241 supporting the rejection of Nawrocki’s veto, 198 opposing, and three abstaining. Despite the majority’s support to override the veto, the effort fell short of the three-fifths majority required to successfully challenge the president’s decision, thereby halting the bill’s progress once more.
President Nawrocki has consistently vetoed the crypto regulation bill, with prior rejections occurring in December 2025 and February 2026. He has maintained that the current version of the legislation does not adequately address the concerns raised by his office. Nawrocki has indicated openness to signing the bill into law, provided that substantial amendments are made to rectify its identified deficiencies.
The recurring vetoes underscore the contentious nature of crypto regulation in Poland, as lawmakers grapple with the complexities of establishing a comprehensive legal framework for digital assets. Until a revised version of the bill is introduced that satisfies the president’s conditions, the proposed regulations remain in limbo, leaving the future of crypto market governance uncertain in the country.
