🇵🇱 Poland's lower house passes sanctions bill that lets authorities freeze crypto
Poland's Sejm approved the government-backed Act on Restrictive Measures by 240 votes to 202, with one abstention, and sent it to the Senate on Monday.
The bill explicitly lists crypto assets, as defined under the EU's MiCA regulation, among the funds authorities can freeze when imposing sanctions. It also widens the grounds for national sanctions to cover certain foreign interference and information manipulation that seriously threaten national security.
The Senate has 30 days to approve, amend or reject it; if it takes no action, the bill is treated as approved and goes to the president.
⭐ Crypto is being written directly into national sanctions toolkits in the EU, meaning holders and service providers in Poland could see assets frozen as quickly as bank funds.
