Polish Parliament Passes Cryptocurrency Regulation Bill, Involving ZondaCrypto Scam Investigation

Mars Finance News, according to Reuters, the Polish parliament has passed a cryptocurrency regulation bill to implement the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), and Poland must complete the relevant rule implementation by July.
The legislative background is related to the suspected large-scale fraud involving Polish crypto exchange Zondacrypto.
Polish prosecutors have launched a multi-million dollar fraud investigation, with user losses expected to exceed 350 million zloty (approximately $95.93 million), and thousands of users are currently unable to withdraw funds.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk previously stated that there may be “Russian funds” and foreign political influence behind Zondacrypto.
The exchange’s founder Sylwester Suszek went missing in 2022, and the current responsible person Przemyslaw Kral reportedly has gone to Israel.
Polish President Karol Nawrocki previously vetoed the implementation of the MiCA bill twice, believing that the regulatory requirements are too heavy and could lead to the loss of crypto businesses.
