The Polish Parliament continues to be unable to override President Karol Nawrocki's veto of the cryptocurrency regulation bill, leaving the process of implementing the MiCA framework in the country still stalled.

In the latest vote, the pro-government camp failed to reach the 263 votes needed to override the veto, with 243 votes against and 191 in favor. This marks the second time since last December that the attempt has failed.

The bill, spearheaded by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, aims to bring Poland into compliance with the European Union's Cryptoasset market regulatory framework. Poland remains one of the few member states that has not yet implemented MiCA.

The president's side opposes the regulations, arguing that they are too strict, lack transparency, and could increase the burden on small and medium-sized enterprises. Meanwhile, Finance Minister Andrzej Domański warns that a lack of regulation could turn the market into a "haven for fraudsters," increasing risks for investors.

In a similar context, Zonda, Poland's largest cryptocurrency exchange, is also embroiled in controversy as the government accuses it of involvement in illegal Capital . CEO Przemysław Kral has denied the allegations and stated that he will file a lawsuit to protect his rights.
