The National Bank of Poland announced yesterday a total ban on operations with USDT and USDC in the country, citing risks to financial stability and potential use in money laundering. This measure will affect both local exchanges and wallets operating under Polish jurisdiction.
Why does it matter?
Refuge in jeopardy: Stablecoins like USDT/USDC have been the anchor for many investors to protect themselves from crypto volatility.
Chain reaction: If Poland tightens control, other EU countries may follow suit, undermining the mass adoption of crypto assets.
Search for alternatives: Polish investors are already exploring other decentralized stablecoins (DAI) or refuges like BTC and ETH.
Pros of the ban:
Greater regulatory control and prevention of financial crimes.
Promotion of stablecoins with greater on-chain transparency.
Cons of the ban:
Lower liquidity and options for traders and investors.
Incentive to use parallel markets and P2P, with greater risk of fraud.
💬 Open debate:
Is it a necessary step for financial security or an attack on crypto freedom?
