It's no longer just the bank 'declining' your exchange sites' deposits, claiming the exchange site is a "confirmed scam," (which is obviously wrong, but is kept between you and the bank, without going 'public' with it). It seems like it's gotten to a whole different level in Poland. I'm not from Poland but my friend is and he had just brought it to my attention.
The campaign's name and website is uwazajnakryptowaluty.pl, which means "Beware of cryptocurrencies."
The contact page at the bottom of the page translates to:
National polish bank
Office of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority
Department of Social Communication
The (sponsored) vids posted by three youtubers (with the hashtag #uważajnakryptowaluty in the description):

According to my friend, the first video pretty much shows a poor guy picking up coins from the ground. Then comes a "a few weeks earlier" flashback to how he drove an expensive car to a restaurant with his girlfriend, where they tried to pay the cost of their dinner with crypto but were declined by the waiter who said that they only accept "real" currencies.
The girl then pays with cash, gets mad and leaves.
The guy then has an appointment to buy a yacht, tells the seller he'd sent him all of his crypto, and the latter tells him "all you can get is this:" (points to an inflatable yacht toy). The guy then calls his friend, who is shown counting "real" cashm laughing and saying "I can't help you. Another idiot got scammed, haha."
The other two vids are pretty much spewing the same kind of FUD found on the main campaign's website: Crypto is not a real currency, you can't use it everywhere and it's risky and can get hacked. etc. (which is obviously true to a certain degree, but the FUD is beyond blatant and misleading at this point).
