Warsaw Stock Exchange Approves BTC, ETH, SOL & XRP ETP Listings

Published at 2026-02-28 10:45:11

On Feb. 28, 2026, the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) cleared listings for four exchange-traded products that track the spot prices of Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL) and XRP. The ETPs will offer investors exchange-listed exposure without direct custody of the underlying tokens, a route many see as simpler and more familiar than wallets and crypto exchanges. The approval comes amid continuing domestic uncertainty after the government failed to pass legislation to align Poland’s rules with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets framework.

The decision matters because it lowers the barrier to crypto investment in the region and could channel more retail and institutional capital onto a regulated venue, boosting liquidity for the listed tokens. It also illustrates how exchanges can expand product offerings even when national law lags EU guidance, raising fresh questions about oversight, custody standards and investor protections as trading commences.
