Is bitcoin legal in Poland?
Bitcoin is legal in Poland, and EU-licensed platforms lawfully serve Polish customers by passporting MiCA authorisations from other member states. Poland's own implementation act, which would let the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) license domestic firms, was vetoed three times by President Nawrocki, most recently in June 2026, leaving Poland the only EU country without a working national licensing regime. That standoff is a problem for Polish crypto businesses rather than for individual buyers.
