Poland’s Lower House Backs Crypto Freezes Under Broader Sanctions Bill

Poland’s Sejm, the lower house of parliament, approved a sanctions bill that would let authorities freeze crypto assets held on exchanges when a customer is designated, with restrictions taking effect before any court review and appeals not automatically lifting them. The measure extends Poland’s sanctions framework to digital-asset accounts, meaning listed users could lose access to exchange-held holdings during the designation period. It now moves to the Senate, and the scope of designations and the speed of judicial review will determine how much of the country’s exchange-based crypto activity is affected.
