Michał Kobza, Member of the Management Board of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, stated, “GPW addresses investors’ expectations and follows the trend of diversifying asset classes available on the public market. Equally important, offering exposure to bitcoin through an ETF listed on GPW increases safety of trading, as investors can participate in the cryptocurrency market using an instrument that is supervised, cleared, and subject to the transparency standards applicable to a regulated capital market.”

The ETF prospectus was approved by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) on June 17, 2025, granting AgioFunds TFI permission to issue both Series A and B investment certificates. To facilitate liquidity, Dom Maklerski Banku Ochrony Środowiska S.A. has been designated as the market maker.

According to Kazimierz Szpak, CEO of BETA TFI SA and BETA ETF Asset Manager at AgioFunds TFI SA, “Less than a month after our most recent new listing, we are introducing another ETF offering exposure to the world’s largest cryptocurrency in a regulated and effective manner. The ETF is our response to the growing demand from investors for new asset classes. I believe that the Bitcoin BETA ETF will meet market expectations and will be welcomed by investors.”

The launch of the Bitcoin BETA ETF brings the total number of ETFs listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange to sixteen, including funds that track Polish indices such as WIG20, mWIG40, and sWIG80, as well as international benchmarks like the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, and DAX. The exchange further offers sector ETFs, leveraged ETFs, and inverse ETFs.

ETF adoption in Poland has been demonstrating robust growth; according to GPW data, turnover in ETFs has reached PLN 1.9 billion year-to-date, representing a 94.2% increase compared to the same period last year.

By listing its first Bitcoin ETF, GPW aligns itself with global capital markets that have embraced Bitcoin-based products. This strategic move reflects the increasing demand from both institutional and retail investors for regulated pathways to access bitcoin as an asset class, thereby enhancing Poland’s position within the rapidly evolving ETF landscape.
