Poland’s lower house passes bill to expand sanctions and freeze crypto assets
Briefing by News4U · First published
Cointelegraph reported that Poland’s lower house, the Sejm, passed the government-backed Act on Restrictive Measures on Friday by a 240-202 vote with one abstention, sending the bill to the Senate. The legislation broadens the grounds for adding individuals and companies to Poland’s national sanctions list and explicitly includes crypto assets, as defined under the EU’s MiCA regulation, among the funds authorities can freeze. The interior minister would oversee the list, with designations taking effect the day after publication and enforcement allowed before any court ruling. The Senate has 30 days to act; if it does not, the bill proceeds to the president. [1]
