Karol Nawrocki, a well-known conservative historian and advocate of market-oriented reforms, has won the presidential elections in Poland with 50.89% of the votes in the second round. His victory has been officially confirmed by the National Electoral Commission. This paves the way for the implementation of new policies, particularly in the field of cryptocurrencies and digital assets.

New president’s priorities in the crypto sector
Nawrocki is known for his support of deregulating Poland’s financial market and his desire to create favorable conditions for the development of the cryptocurrency industry. He advocates for reducing bureaucratic barriers that hinder innovation in Web3, blockchain technologies, and digital assets. His approach has garnered support from libertarian and nationalist voters, including supporters of Sławomir Mentzen, who previously proposed creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve in Poland.
“Poland should become a birthplace of innovation, not regulation,” Nawrocki stated, drawing inspiration from the policies of former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Potential changes in crypto business policy
Although the president in Poland has primarily representative powers, Nawrocki can influence legislative initiatives, particularly in the area of cryptocurrency business taxation and the creation of special economic zones for tech startups. Observers expect his team to work on tax incentives for the crypto sector and to stimulate the development of innovative companies.
It is worth noting that similar initiatives are already being implemented in the U.S.: in March 2025, Donald Trump signed an executive order to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve, which has served as an example for other countries. However, the National Bank of Poland has taken a cautious stance on cryptocurrencies. In February, the regulator emphasized that it does not plan to include Bitcoin in state reserves, as reserve assets, according to the bank’s president Adam Glapiński, must be “absolutely safe,” and cryptocurrencies do not meet these requirements.
Under Nawrocki’s leadership, Poland is expected to become one of the centers for cryptocurrency business development in Central Europe, creating a favorable investment climate for entrepreneurs and digital technology developers.
