Tusk Pushes Crypto Law Re-Vote After Zondacrypto Scandal

Poland To Revote Crypto-Asset Market Act After Zondacrypto Scandal

Polish authorities are reevaluating the need to have clear regulations to protect citizens from cryptocurrency fraud.

On Friday, during a council of ministers meeting to draft the 2027 budget, Tusk commented on the current situation of the Zondacrypto exchange, which has evolved to become one of the largest crypto-linked corruption cases in the country.

Tusk lamented that the budget preparation was overshadowed by the Zondacrypto bankruptcy and the recent detention of Polish Olympic Committee President Radosław Piesiewicz in a corruption probe.

“This is not some ordinary bribe, some one politician. It looks like a well-organized system in which names known from other situations appear,” Tusk declared, highlighting the gravity of the development.

Tusk said that after this, he would ask the Speaker of the Sejm to organize a re-vote on the Crypto-Asset Market Act, which was vetoed by President Karol Nawrocki a third time on June 11.

“This is probably the moment when no one will have the nerve to say that there is ‘no problem’ or that we have a lot of time. At this point, I can no longer imagine that President Nawrocki, Chairman Kaczyński, and former Prime Minister Morawiecki would reject this problem with such incredible lightness,” Tusk stated.
