The Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW) has officially listed the Bitcoin BETA ETF, providing Polish investors with the opportunity to access Bitcoin through the managed (ETF). This fund, managed by AgioFunds TFI SA, invests in Bitcoin futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and employs a USD/PLN currency hedging strategy to mitigate currency volatility for investors. This is the first ETF on GPW that provides both access to cryptocurrency and manages foreign exchange risk.

According to Michał Kobza, a member of the GPW Board of Directors, the listing of the Bitcoin ETF meets the expectations of investors and allows for safer participation in the crypto market through a monitored tool with clear and transparent payments according to capital market standards. The fund was approved by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) on June 17, 2025, with Series A and B investment certificates, and Dom Maklerski Banku Ochrony Środowiska S.A. was designated as the market maker to ensure liquidity.

Kazimierz Szpak, CEO of BETA TFI SA, stated that the Bitcoin ETF was launched to meet the growing demand from investors for new asset classes and is expected to be positively received by the market. With this launch, the total number of ETFs on GPW is now 16, including funds tracking the Polish indices (WIG20, mWIG40, sWIG80), international indices (S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, DAX), as well as sector ETFs, leveraged ETFs, and inverse ETFs.

The listing of the Bitcoin BETA ETF not only helps Polish investors access Bitcoin legally and safely, but also affirms Poland's position in the context of the rapidly developing global ETF market. As of now, ETF trading in Poland has reached 1.9 billion PLN, an increase of 94.2% compared to the same period last year.
