Poland's lower house of parliament passes sanctions bill proposing to allow freezing of crypto assets

According to 深潮 TechFlow, on November 9, as reported by The Defiant, Poland's lower house of parliament passed a government sanctions bill on November 6 with 240 votes in favor, 202 against and 1 abstention, allowing the Minister of the Interior to freeze crypto assets, bank balances and other property without a prior court order. The bill still requires Senate review and presidential approval.

The bill will expand the existing national sanctions framework, requiring exchanges and custodians to restrict customers listed on sanctions lists from using related assets. Affected parties may file objections with administrative courts, but objections will not automatically suspend the restrictive measures; the freezing itself does not change asset ownership.
