# Polish crypto-asset regulation and Zondacrypto dispute > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/polish-crypto-asset-regulation-legislative-deadlock > Updated: 2026-09-10T15:00:00.000Z. Sources: 30. Developments: 5. The legislative deadlock regarding Poland’s crypto-asset market has intensified, now involving the Zondacrypto scandal. Zbigniew Bogucki, Chief of the Presidential Chancellery, has submitted a second presidential draft bill to the Marshal of the Sejm. This new proposal, which Bogucki claims adheres to constitutional principles and prioritizes investor protection, introduces mandatory warning messages and requires judicial oversight for freezing accounts. Prime Minister Donald Tusk has criticized the presidency, characterizing the move as a sign of “panic.” Tusk alleged that previous amendments were influenced by Zondacrypto through the Polish Bank Association to weaken the state’s ability to block risky websites, stating a “machine of accountability” has been launched. Specifically, Tusk alleged that an amendment to Article 67 of a previous legislative draft, signed by Bogucki, was designed to protect certain entities from regulatory oversight. Bogucki responded to these accusations with sharp rhetoric, stating, “You can release all your political and media hounds, you can track me, eavesdrop on me, interrogate me, sniff around, and nothing [will happen].” The submission has triggered sharp friction between Bogucki and the Marshal of the Sejm, Włodzimierz Czarzasty. Czarzasty characterized the legislative move as an attempt to escape an “awkward or corrupt situation,” while Bogucki accused Czarzasty of using narratives reminiscent of “communist-era propaganda.” Public sentiment remains divided. A recent SW Research survey for Onet indicates that 50.6% of Poles support the creation of a parliamentary investigative commission to examine potential links between Zondacrypto and various political entities. Support is notably higher among citizens under 24 (61.9%) compared to those over 50 (43%). While groups such as Rozwoju Plus, Razem, and Konfederacja have submitted resolutions to form the commission, Minister of Justice and Prosecutor General Waldemar Żurek has criticized the move. ## Claims - More than 51 percent of surveyed Poles believe the Zondacrypto scandal will influence the 2027 Sejm elections.
