Poland has under 20 days to implement MiCA — and still no law

President Karol Nawrocki has vetoed Poland's crypto-assets bill for the third time, leaving Poland the only EU state without national MiCA implementation as the 1 July deadline nears. The KNF warns Polish firms may be unable to obtain EU licences in time.

On 11 June, President Karol Nawrocki vetoed Poland's crypto-assets bill for a third time, and Parliament lacks the three-fifths majority to override him. With under twenty days to the 1 July MiCA deadline, Poland remains the only EU member state without national implementing legislation. The KNF has warned that once the deadline passes, Polish crypto-asset firms may be unable to obtain the CASP authorisation MiCA requires. In that event, only firms licensed in another member state could serve Polish clients. Operators with Polish exposure should treat passporting in from another EU jurisdiction as the working contingency. Confirm which entity holds your CASP licence and that passporting notifications are in order before 1 July.
