What to know:

  • Poland's lower house of parliament passed a crypto regulation bill previously vetoed by President Nawrocki, sending it to the Senate for further debate.
  • The bill aligns with the EU's MiCA regulation, but is criticized for granting excessive powers to the Polish Financial Supervision Authority.
  • Prime Minister Tusk's government reintroduced the bill unchanged, emphasizing its importance for national crypto market oversight.

Poland’s lower house of parliament,the Sejm, passed a sweeping bill to regulate the crypto industry, reviving legislation previously vetoed by President Karol Nawrocki and sending it to the Senate for further debate.

The Crypto-Asset Market Act, approved Thursday by 241 lawmakers in the Sejm, remains unchanged from the version struck down earlier this month, the Sejm’s press office told CoinDesk.

“The bill went through readings by the members of parliament on Thursday and it has been voted and approved by them and sent to the Senate, where they will debate and if they approve it goes to the president, if not, if they reject it, it comes back to the Sejm,” a spokesperson explained.

The bill is intended to align Polish law with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. But critics, including Nawrocki and members of Poland’s crypto industry, argue it goes significantly beyond EU standards, granting the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) broad enforcement powers, including website blocking and multimillion-zloty fines.

Nawrocki’s office cited the law’s ambiguity, overreach and high compliance costs as reasons for the initial veto, warning that the provisions could damage smaller firms and allow “one-click” domain shutdowns, an approach not taken by most EU countries. The bill’s size, over 100 pages, also drew criticism for being excessive compared with simpler implementations seen elsewhere in the region.

Despite the objections, Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government reintroduced the law without revisions, portraying its passage as critical for national oversight of crypto markets. With the Senate now set to review the legislation, the bill may face another showdown with the president, who retains the power to veto it once more.

The post IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground? That’s where BlockDAG comes in. While other chains are stuck dealing with validator congestion or outages, BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet will be stress-testing its EVM-compatible smart chain with real miners before listing. For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one. BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time. What makes this even more important is that the technology is operational before the coin even hits exchanges. That…
