Poland’s Lower House Passes Sanctions Bill Allowing Crypto Asset Freezes Without Court Order

Cointime update: Poland’s lower house of parliament on November 6 passed a government sanctions bill by 240 votes to 202, with one abstention, allowing the interior minister to freeze crypto assets, bank balances and other property without a prior court order. The bill still requires Senate review and presidential approval. Exchanges and custodians would have to restrict sanctioned clients’ access to assets; affected parties may appeal to an administrative court, but appeals do not automatically suspend the measures.
