💥 The Polish stock market has never seen anything like this before! The Beta ETF Bitcoin Portfolio FIZ is coming - the first ETF in our country that invests in Bitcoin futures. This is a great step for traditional investors who want to dip their toes into the cryptocurrency world - without having to buy Bitcoin directly.

📈 What exactly is this fund?

Beta ETF Bitcoin Portfolio FIZ is a new investment fund that:

  • Invests 100% of portfolio in Bitcoin futures listed on prestigious US CME exchange 🏛️
  • It also uses forward currency contracts to hedge against USD/PLN exchange rate risk 💱

➡️ The Fund complies with Polish law and is supervised by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF), which ensures transparency and regulatory security for investors.

🧠 Who is behind this?

At the helm are:

  • Beta TFI - lead issuer
  • AgioFunds TFI - co-manager
  • And in the chairman's seat: Kazimierz Szpak 🧑‍💼

🎯 What is the purpose of the fund?

The fund does not buy Bitcoin itself. Its goal is to replicate changes in the price of Bitcoin futures contracts. By doing so:

  • Investors can gain exposure to BTC
  • They do this in a regulated, transparent and automated manner
  • No need for a cryptocurrency wallet or private keys 🔐

⚠️ But beware - it's not fun!

The FSC warns: it's a high-risk investment because:

  • The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and speculative 📉📈
  • Bitcoin has no "fundamental value"
  • There are technological, regulatory and exchange rate risks
  • Possible loss of all invested capital

💡 Recommended investment horizon: minimum 5 years!

📅 When is the debut?

  • On June 17, 2025, the FSA approved the prospectus.
  • Registration procedure underway
  • A debut on the Warsaw Stock Exchange could happen in just a few weeks!

🧾 In conclusion...

Beta ETF Bitcoin Portfolio FIZ is:
✅ The first ETF in Poland with exposure to BTC
✅ A 100% futures-based fund
✅ A transparent and regulated way to invest in crypto
❗ But also: a high-risk product, not for everyone

🔮 What does this mean for the market?

It's a game changer in the Polish capital market. On the one hand, it opens the door for conservative investors who want to touch crypto. On the other, it could bring more institutional capital into the cryptocurrency market.

Is this the beginning of a new era of investing in Poland? 🧐 Time will tell. But one thing is certain - Bitcoin has come to the WSE. Officially. 🇵🇱💰
