Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Tuesday the new bill would differ from earlier versions vetoed by Nawrocki mainly by imposing tougher penalties for those who defraud investors and pose risks to the state.
"The only change I will propose is an even clearer tightening of penalties for those who, exploiting people's dreams—sometimes their naivety, sometimes their lack of knowledge—deceive them," Tusk said.
The announcement comes amid an ongoing probe into the Zondacrypto cryptocurrency exchange.
Last month, prosecutors in the southern city of Katowice opened a fraud and money-laundering investigation into the platform, with losses estimated at around PLN 350 million (EUR 82 million).
Zondacrypto's CEO, Przemysław Kral, has fled to Israel and holds Israeli citizenship, making extradition to Poland unlikely, according to reports.
The exchange's founder, Sylwester Suszek, disappeared in mysterious circumstances in 2022.
According to Polish news website Onet, prosecutors believe Zondacrypto's true owner is a man known as "Maniek."
A domestic intelligence report has also linked the platform to a Russian organised crime group, which allegedly helped Suszek when he faced financial difficulties around 2018.
Tusk previously told parliament that unregulated cryptocurrency markets were being used by Belarusian security services to fund illegal migration into Poland.
