Is LBank available in Poland?
LBank does not appear on the European Securities and Markets Authority register of authorised crypto asset service providers, and it is not authorised under the European Union Markets in Crypto Assets framework. In Poland the designated competent authority is the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (Komisja Nadzoru Finansowego, the KNF), and the MiCA transitional period for existing providers runs to 1 July 2026, so treat LBank as not available to Polish residents through an authorised route.

How we checked this. We set this status by reading the platform's own terms of use and country eligibility, and the public register kept by the named regulator, then dated the result. Availability can change, so confirm directly with the platform and the regulator before acting. As of 26 June 2026.
As of 26 June 2026, LBank is not authorised under the European Union Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) framework and does not appear on the European Securities and Markets Authority register of authorised crypto asset service providers. In Poland the designated competent authority is the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, the Komisja Nadzoru Finansowego, known as the KNF, and the MiCA transitional period for existing providers runs to 1 July 2026. Treat LBank as not available to residents of Poland through a MiCA authorised route and verify the current position before acting.
Availability for Poland residents
Across the European Union, crypto platforms are now expected to operate under the Markets in Crypto Assets framework, Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, either through a national authorisation or by passporting an authorisation held in another member state. In Poland the designated competent authority is the Komisja Nadzoru Finansowego, known as the KNF. Poland's national implementing law, the Crypto Asset Market Act, had a prolonged legislative passage and was adopted by parliament in May 2026, so confirm the current state of the national procedure with the KNF.
The MiCA transitional period in Poland runs to 1 July 2026 for providers entered in the national register of activities in virtual currencies before the cutoff date. After that date a firm needs a granted MiCA authorisation, or a valid passport from another member state, to serve Polish residents lawfully. As of 26 June 2026, LBank does not appear on the European Securities and Markets Authority register.
Because LBank holds no MiCA authorisation that can be passported into Poland, the authorised route is treated here as not available, and the position should be confirmed directly with the KNF.
Access, KYC, and products
LBank is a global crypto exchange that offers spot and derivatives trading. It is a custodial platform, which means it holds the assets in an account on the user behalf rather than giving the user the private keys, and it requires identity verification, known as know your customer, before trading.
Under the Markets in Crypto Assets framework the relevant question for a resident here is authorisation. A provider that serves this market is expected to hold a crypto asset service provider authorisation, safeguard client assets, and meet governance and disclosure standards supervised by the national regulator. Without that authorisation a platform should not be marketing services to residents, so confirm the regulatory position rather than the day to day mechanics.
How crypto is taxed in Poland
Poland taxes income from the disposal of crypto for individuals at a flat rate of 19 percent, reported to the National Revenue Administration, the Krajowa Administracja Skarbowa. Costs of acquiring crypto can generally be deducted under the rules in force.
Treatment depends on personal circumstances and can change, so confirm the current position with the Polish tax authority or a qualified adviser. See the Poland crypto tax page for a fuller explanation. This is general information, not tax advice (as of 26 June 2026).
