Poland’s parliament fails to override Nawrocki’s crypto bill veto by 25 votes

  • Poland’s lower house failed to override President Karol Nawrocki’s third crypto-asset bill veto.
  • 241 lawmakers supported the motion, leaving it 25 votes short of the required 266.
  • Poland has also failed to overturn Nawrocki’s vetoes in December 2025 and April 2026.

Poland’s lower house failed on September 4 to overturn President Karol Nawrocki’s third veto of a crypto-asset bill, leaving the country without a domestic supervisory framework under the European Union’s MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation). Lawmakers voted 241-198, with three abstentions, falling 25 votes short of the 266 needed to compel the president to sign. The legislation would have appointed the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, or KNF (Poland’s financial regulator), as the country’s crypto supervisor and aligned national rules with MiCA. Nawrocki says he supports sector regulation but views the government’s proposal as too restrictive, citing burdens on Polish crypto companies and possible relocation to other jurisdictions. The latest defeat follows unsuccessful override attempts in December 2025 and April 2026, leaving Poland effectively the only EU member state without a dedicated MiCA supervisor. Some crypto businesses have responded by obtaining licenses from regulators in other EU countries, while the July 1 deadline has continued to pressure smaller firms.
