New ETFs debut in Poland: BTC, ETH, SOL and XRP. They offer a staking option – Bitcoin.pl

ETFs based on BTC, ETH, SOL and XRP debuted on the Polish capital market. These are products of the Swedish Virtune. This means that Polish investors will be able to invest in cryptocurrencies indirectly. Importantly, the funds offer staking.

ETFs based on ETH, SOL and BTC

According to resolution No. 223/2026 of the WSE Management Board, four new ETFs supported by Virtune are being introduced to the market. These are:

  • Virtune Bitcoin Prime ETP (ETNVIRBTCP) – a product giving exposure to bitcoin; the management fee is only 0.25% per year,
  • Virtune Staked Ethereum ETP (ETNVIRETH) – based on ether that offers staking;
  • Virtune Staked Solana ETP (ETNVIRSOL) – offering exposure to solana, offers an additional annual return on staking of approximately 3%,
  • Virtune XRP ETP (ETNVIRXRP) – an instrument giving access to Ripple’s XRP token.

All ETFs are fully backed by “physical” cryptocurrencies held on Coinbase. Transparency of reserves is ensured by Chainlink Proof of Reserves technology.

What does the investing process look like?

ETF units are purchased in PLN. You do not need to have an account on the cryptocurrency exchange. The security of digital assets is ensured by Virtune, so the problem of storing cryptocurrencies in your own wallet disappears. However, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Advantage, as people less familiar with blockchain technology can now invest in BTC, ETH, SOL and XRP. Disadvantage – according to the principle “not your private keys, not your cryptocurrencies”, coins actually formally belong to ETFs.

What is important is that Virtune products can be purchased as part of IKE and IKZE retirement accounts.

Christopher Kock, CEO of Virtune, said in a press release for the media that Poland is a priority country for his company, right after his native Scandinavia.

Virtune manages assets worth approximately USD 260 million and has a 95% share in crypto ETN trading (a broad category of exchange-listed investment products) in Scandinavia. According to the company, in 2026 it will most likely introduce further innovative products to the Polish market. It is possible that these will be the next cryptocurrency ETFs.
