MiCA Masters: Surviving MICA in Poland: Compliance Tips and Hard Lessons

Poland’s crypto industry is facing a regulatory crossroads. With MiCA implementation looming, local CASPs must navigate not just EU-wide rules, but a complex and still-changing Polish legal landscape.

In this episode of MiCA Masters, Solidus Labs’ Head of Policy Europe, Delphine Forma, sits down with Łukasz Jabkowski and Maciej Grzegorczykm two of Kanga’s legal experts, to unpack the reality of preparing for MiCA in Poland.

They share the inside view on:

• Why Poland’s delayed local law puts CASPs at a disadvantage
• Managing AML, Travel Rule, and market abuse requirements under strict regulators
• ICT compliance challenges under DORA
• Token due diligence, stablecoin rules, and the impact of the EBA’s non-action letter
• Practical strategies for engaging with regulators who aren’t always crypto-friendly

“MiCA compliance isn’t just a legal exercise, it’s a cultural shift. In Poland, you have to be ready before the law even lands.” – Łukasz Jabkowski

From cash-based crypto offices to creative fraud prevention methods, this episode blends legal insight with on-the-ground operational lessons for CASPs working in high-risk regulatory environments.
