You can’t ignore crypto and ban it out of existence | News in Depth
Poland’s President Karol Nawrocki has vetoed the government bill regulating the cryptocurrency market twice, but the recent scandal linked to the collapse of a Polish crypto exchange with alleged ties to the Russian mafia has put him in a position that may force him to reconsider. Is banning the crypto trade altogether a viable solution?
“You can’t just ignore it and ban it out of existence,” believes Stuart Dowell, TVP World’s Political Editor, commenting on the Polish right’s confusion over whether to adopt a hands-off approach to the crypto trade or prohibit it entirely.
Has Donald Tusk managed to trap Nawrocki politically? Why is the right, in Poland and beyond, drawn to cryptocurrencies? And are the alleged links of Zondacrypto to Russian networks a real scandal or just political framing?
Join our host Don Arleth and his guest, as they explore competing crypto legislation, political pressure on the presidency, and global differences in crypto regulation.
