Tusk said 450,000 złoty went to a foundation tied to former justice minister Zbigniew Ziobro, while €70,000 went to a foundation associated with Confederation party lawmaker Przemysław Wipler. President Karol Nawrocki vetoed the legislation twice, arguing it was overly restrictive, while the government says it is needed to implement the EU’s Markets in Crypto‑Assets (MiCA) regulation and give the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) broader powers to oversee the crypto sector. The dispute comes as prosecutors examine alleged irregularities at Zondacrypto, Poland’s best‑known exchange, amid reports of withdrawal delays and sharply shrinking visible bitcoin reserves.
