Regulation of the cryptocurrency market within the European Union is still evolving, but regulatory authorities are implementing their policies so poorly that many aspects of this issue may still change.
For players in the blockchain industry , this is both a curse and a blessing. Polish lawmakers added their two cents to the chaos surrounding the implementation of the new regulations by failing to pass the crypto-asset bill on time.

The European Union is doing everything it can to strip cryptocurrency investors of their right to financial privacy. However, the process of implementing the new regulations under the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation is simply too much for European officials to handle.
This is further confirmation that without proper dialogue with stakeholders in the crypto sector, any new regulations will do more harm than good.
The way this industry operates is determined by people who lack practical knowledge.
Do they really understand what actions are crucial for this industry? What challenges must companies offering crypto services overcome?
It is not entirely clear whether officials don't know what they're doing or simply want to stifle the growth of digital assets in Europe.
You don’t have to look far to find examples of regulatory incompetence. The Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) first announced a ban on cryptocurrency loans without providing any specific justification!
What was the justification for this?
🧐 Nothing. Just “concerns about the safety of market participants.”
What's more, this ban was also supposed to cover staking! According to the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF):
🌟 Fortunately, common sense prevailed —the ban was lifted!
Polish VASPs and CASPs have been granted an extended transition period for MiCA implementation, which is why you can still trade on Bitcoin ATM.com!
Transactions equal to or exceeding 1,000 EUR require the scanning of an identification document into the device. If the same person buys or sells cryptocurrency on a single day in multiple transactions totaling 15,000 EUR or more, we consider these transactions to be related and will also require a scan of an identification document in such cases. In specific cases, such as attempts to conceal one’s face during a transaction, we reserve the right to request a scan of an identity document even for smaller amounts.
