RE: Poland: President has vetoed the MiCA law for the third time12 Jun 2026 13:20
What this means for the 1 July 2026 MiCA deadline
Because the President has vetoed the Act:
1. Poland will not have a MiCA licensing regime in time
KNF cannot issue CASP licences without the law.
2. Polish VASPs cannot legally operate after 1 July
Under EU MiCA, all service providers must hold a CASP licence by 1 July 2026.
3. The only viable path for Polish crypto companies
They must obtain a CASP licence in another EU country (Lithuania, Estonia, France, Luxembourg, Spain) and passport back into Poland.
4. Sejm cannot realistically override the veto
A 3/5 majority is required — the coalition does not have the votes.
