MiCA revolutionised European crypto — and Poland lost the race to become its hub

The EU's MiCA regulation unified the European crypto market, but Poland failed to capitalise on the opportunity, according to Mateusz Kara, founder and CEO of Morphic Financial Group. He argues that 2026 may be seen as the year Poland's ambition to become Europe's crypto hub faded away. Rather than taking a leading position in the newly regulated market, Poland finds itself on the sidelines.
