What to know:
- Poland's lower house of parliament passed a crypto regulation bill previously vetoed by President Nawrocki, sending it to the Senate for further debate.
- The bill aligns with the EU's MiCA regulation, but is criticized for granting excessive powers to the Polish Financial Supervision Authority.
- Prime Minister Tusk's government reintroduced the bill unchanged, emphasizing its importance for national crypto market oversight.
Poland’s lower house of parliament,the Sejm, passed a sweeping bill to regulate the crypto industry, reviving legislation previously vetoed by President Karol Nawrocki and sending it to the Senate for further debate.
The Crypto-Asset Market Act, approved Thursday by 241 lawmakers in the Sejm, remains unchanged from the version struck down earlier this month, the Sejm’s press office told CoinDesk.

“The bill went through readings by the members of parliament on Thursday and it has been voted and approved by them and sent to the Senate, where they will debate and if they approve it goes to the president, if not, if they reject it, it comes back to the Sejm,” a spokesperson explained.
The bill is intended to align Polish law with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. But critics, including Nawrocki and members of Poland’s crypto industry, argue it goes significantly beyond EU standards, granting the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) broad enforcement powers, including website blocking and multimillion-zloty fines.
Nawrocki’s office cited the law’s ambiguity, overreach and high compliance costs as reasons for the initial veto, warning that the provisions could damage smaller firms and allow “one-click” domain shutdowns, an approach not taken by most EU countries. The bill’s size, over 100 pages, also drew criticism for being excessive compared with simpler implementations seen elsewhere in the region.
Despite the objections, Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government reintroduced the law without revisions, portraying its passage as critical for national oversight of crypto markets. With the Senate now set to review the legislation, the bill may face another showdown with the president, who retains the power to veto it once more.

Fed rate decision September 2025
The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment. “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
