The Warsaw Stock Exchange has made history by listing Poland’s first Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), offering local investors a regulated and straightforward way to gain exposure to Bitcoin.

Poland enters the bitcoin ETF market

This new ETF enables Polish investors to access Bitcoin through standard brokerage accounts, eliminating the need for direct digital asset custody.

The product tracks Bitcoin’s price using derivatives, in line with the structure of other international Bitcoin ETFs.

Growing global trend

Poland’s move aligns with a broader global trend that began with Canada’s Bitcoin ETF approvals in 2021, followed by the United States in 2024.

In these established markets, daily ETF inflows often total thousands of Bitcoin, highlighting the increasing mainstream adoption of Bitcoin as an investment vehicle.

Bitcoin’s expanding influence in Eastern Europe

With a population of around 38 million, Poland has shown rising interest in fintech and digital assets.

The introduction of this ETF marks a significant milestone for Eastern Europe, potentially paving the way for more regulated Bitcoin investment products in the region.

Bitcoin’s market capitalization remains above $2 trillion, underscoring its growing role in global finance.
