What the law actually says

Is Bitcoin trading legal in Poland?

Spot crypto is legal to hold, buy and sell, and the service side runs on MiCA, which applies directly as an EU regulation: the KNF describes MiCA as setting the rules for issuing and trading crypto-assets and lists the crypto-asset services - custody, exchange for money or for other crypto-assets, order execution, operating a trading platform, portfolio management, advice - that require a CASP authorisation, while leaving DeFi, unique NFTs and anything already qualifying as a MiFID II financial instrument outside its scope. A Polish resident is served in practice by CASPs passported in from elsewhere in the EEA; Kraken, for example, serves Poland under an Irish MiCA CASP authorisation covering all EEA states.

What the contract is

The contract itself does not change by geography: a BTC perpetual settles in USDC everywhere.

PayPal

LIMITS

EUR 1 minimum and near-instant, but the deposit is held 72 hours before it can be withdrawn.

04.

Choose Buy / Long, then set size and leverage

Buying $1,000 of BTC at 5x uses $200 of collateral. Higher leverage moves the liquidation price closer to your entry: your exposure is the position size, whatever margin you posted. Set a stop-loss below your entry before you walk away.

Tax note — Poland

19% flat personal income tax on income from the disposal of virtual currencies. Income is the year's total proceeds from such disposals less the deductible costs defined in article 22(14)-(16), and it sits in its own basket, separate from other capital income.
