Poland's parliament failed to override the president's third veto on the crypto licensing law, leaving the country without a MiCA-aligned regulatory framework and forcing around 2,000 crypto firms into regulatory limbo. This makes Poland the only EU member state without a domestic crypto licensing regime as the MiCA transitional period ends.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 6 sources have reported it between 5 Sep 2026 and 8 Sep 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Poland's persistent refusal to regulate crypto firms under MiCA leaves you with a large pool of local companies unable to get licensed, creating regulatory arbitrage and market access challenges across Europe.
