Poland's Crypto Industry in Limbo Amid MiCA Regulations
In Poland, the crypto-asset industry is navigating uncharted territory due to the EU's MiCA Regulation and the lack of a national implementing law. As of July 1, 2026, existing firms have exhausted their transitional period, and the Polish State Treasury has yet to designate a supervisory authority or establish a licensing procedure.
The Sejm failed to override the presidential veto on September 4, 2026, leaving providers with no choice but to seek authorization in another EU member state. This paradoxical situation has led to a surge in cross-border notifications under Article 65 MiCA, allowing Polish firms to operate lawfully despite the legislative deadlock.
Kancelaria Prawna Skarbiec, a leading law firm, is helping clients navigate this complex landscape. They offer a range of services, including CASP authorization, crypto taxation, and AML procedures. The firm's experts emphasize the importance of organizational substance, warning that inadequate structures can lead to supervisory objections and even closure.
