[Polish Parliament Passes MiCA Implementation Bill Amid Investigation into Nearly $100 Million Fraud Case at Poland's Largest Exchange] Foresight News reports, according to Reuters, that on May 15 local time, the Polish Parliament passed a cryptocurrency asset regulatory bill, incorporating the EU's MiCA regulations into domestic legislation. Poland must complete the localization and implementation by July this year, or domestic entities will lose the qualification to provide cryptocurrency asset services. The Polish government had previously attempted to advance this bill twice, both of which were vetoed by President Karol Nawrocki; even after this passage, Nawrocki can still exercise his veto power. The bill's passage comes against the backdrop of a fraud scandal involving Poland's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Zondacrypto, where thousands of users are unable to withdraw funds. Prosecutors estimate losses exceeding 350 million zloty (approximately $95.93 million). Polish Prime Minister Tusk has suggested that the exchange is backed by Russian funds and linked to nationalist opposition political figures, sparking controversy over foreign interference. Zondacrypto's founder, Sylwester Suszek, went missing in 2022, and his successor, Przemyslaw Kral, is reportedly currently in Israel, where extradition poses challenges.
