Digital currency has been arousing a lot of interest for
some time. In public administration circles - at least officially
– so far, it has not been discussed very much. A few days ago
though, the situation has changed. The National Bank of Poland
together with The Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) took
a precedent position on the digital currency.
With one voice
A few days ago, the common view of the NPB and the KNF on
digital currency was revealed. The document was prepared
objectively. The "Announcement" clause is, in principle,
a warning of risks, as evidenced by its preamble. It also refers in
content to my pioneering publications devoted to bitcoin in Polish
law, published almost three years ago. This is pleasant for me. And
because of some knowledge of digital currency and the commitment to
work on the regulatory taming of this phenomenon in the Polish
legal realm, I am allowing myself to make a few comments.
