NFTs in Poland
Buying, holding, and selling NFTs is legal in Poland as of January 2026. The European Union Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation generally does not apply to crypto assets that are unique and not fungible, so a genuine one of a kind NFT typically sits outside the main MiCA regime, while the regulator can still look at substance over labels. Tax depends on what the NFT is and how you deal with it, and the treatment can be less settled than for ordinary tokens. The financial supervisor is the Komisja Nadzoru Finansowego, the KNF, and the tax authority is the Krajowa Administracja Skarbowa, the KAS. This is information, not advice.
The legal position
As of January 2026 there is no ban on NFTs in Poland, and creating, buying, or selling them is lawful. The European Union Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation, known as MiCA, applies directly across the Union and generally excludes crypto assets that are unique and not fungible with other crypto assets. A truly unique NFT, such as a single digital artwork, therefore typically falls outside the core MiCA regime. The exclusion is read narrowly, though: where tokens in a large series are effectively interchangeable, or where an NFT is fractionalised or marketed in a way that makes it function like a financial instrument or a fungible token, a supervisor can look past the NFT label at what the token really is. The intended national supervisor is the KNF, the Polish Financial Supervision Authority. See the Poland regulation page for the framework.
When an NFT may be treated differently
The practical question is whether a token is genuinely unique. A one of a kind collectible is usually outside MiCA, but a project that issues thousands of near identical tokens, or that splits an NFT into fungible fractions, may produce assets that are caught by the crypto asset rules or, in some structures, by securities or other financial law. As of January 2026 this is an area where classification depends on the facts and where guidance can develop, so we mark the boundary as fact specific rather than fixed. If you create or sell NFTs at scale, or build products around them, take local advice on how your particular tokens are classified before you proceed.
As of January 2026, the Polish flat 19 percent regime for virtual currency on the PIT-38 return is designed around tokens that function as a means of exchange, and the treatment of NFTs is less settled because an NFT can be closer to a digital good or a right than to a currency. Depending on the facts, a sale could fall under the virtual currency rules, under general income rules, or, for a creator selling work, under business or VAT rules administered by the KAS. Because the position varies, keep full records of acquisition costs, sale prices, and dates, and confirm the correct treatment for your situation. See the Poland tax page and verify before filing.
Buying NFTs and the role of exchanges
Most NFTs are traded on dedicated marketplaces rather than on the mainstream exchanges that list ordinary tokens. To take part you generally need a wallet and some crypto to pay with, and you can acquire that crypto on a platform available to residents of Poland. The platforms below are listed for availability of ordinary crypto, not as NFT marketplaces and not as a recommendation of any NFT.
Compare available exchanges in Poland
To fund an NFT purchase you usually need crypto first. These platforms are available to residents of Poland as of January 2026. Compare them on fees, supported assets, and registration, then verify the current status before you sign up. We list a platform here only where it is genuinely available to this country.
Some links on this site may be affiliate links. They never change the editorial status shown here, and we do not list a platform that is not available to Poland.

- KNF, the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, on the supervision of crypto asset service providers and market conduct.
- Krajowa Administracja Skarbowa (KAS), on the taxation of crypto and the relevant income and VAT rules.
