According to PANews, conservative historian Karol Nawrocki has been elected as the President of Poland, securing 50.89% of the votes against liberal challenger Rafał Trzaskowski in a runoff election held on Monday. The National Electoral Commission has confirmed his victory, which is expected to significantly influence Poland's future policies, particularly in the cryptocurrency sector.
Nawrocki, inspired by U.S. President Donald Trump and other American conservatives, envisions Poland as a hub for cryptocurrency innovation. This stance has sparked discussions in the global financial community, with speculation on whether Poland might follow other economies in exploring a state-backed Bitcoin treasury. Although Nawrocki has stated that he does not personally hold any cryptocurrency, his policy direction favors deregulation and industry growth, which has resonated with many voters.
Despite Nawrocki's supportive stance on cryptocurrency, the Polish central bank ruled out the possibility of including Bitcoin in the national reserves earlier this year in February.
