Jinse Finance reported on November 10, 2026, citing Cointelegraph, that Poland’s lower house, the Sejm, passed a government-submitted Restrictive Measures Act the previous Friday by 240 votes in favor, 202 against and one abstention. The bill was transferred to the Senate that Monday.
The measure would expressly include crypto-assets as defined in the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) among the funds authorities may freeze when applying sanctions.
The national sanctions list is overseen by the interior minister. A listing decision takes effect the day after it is announced. Listed individuals and companies may sue in the administrative court, but the bill allows enforcement before a court ruling.
Poland’s existing national sanctions list rests on a 2022 law adopted to counter support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The bill would also add foreign interference, information manipulation and other acts that seriously endanger national security as grounds for sanctions.
The Senate must approve, amend or reject the text within 30 days. If it takes no action, the constitution treats the version passed by the Sejm as approved, after which the bill is submitted to the president.
