The post Warsaw Stock Exchange debuts first Bitcoin ETF in Poland appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways The Warsaw Stock Exchange has launched Poland’s first Bitcoin ETF, providing a regulated and accessible way for Polish investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin. This move may help foster additional cryptocurrency products regionally. The Warsaw Stock Exchange launched Poland’s first Bitcoin exchange-traded fund, marking a milestone in Eastern Europe’s cryptocurrency adoption. The ETF allows Polish investors to gain Bitcoin exposure through standard brokerage accounts. The launch follows a global trend that began with Bitcoin ETF approvals in Canada in 2021 and the U.S. in 2024. In established markets, daily inflows often exceed thousands of Bitcoin, signaling broader mainstream integration. Bitcoin ETFs are regulated investment funds that track the digital asset’s price through derivatives like futures contracts, enabling indirect exposure for traditional investors without requiring direct crypto custody. Poland, with a population of about 38 million, has increasingly embraced fintech and digital assets. Bitcoin maintains a market cap exceeding $2 trillion.

PANews reported on September 19th that Christine Kim, former vice president of research at Galaxy Digital, stated on the X platform that today's Ethereum developer meeting, ACDC 165, reached a key decision, confirming the schedule for the Fusaka public testnet and the BPO hard fork. Developers agreed on the upcoming schedule for Fusaka: Holesky upgrade on October 1st, Sepolia upgrade on October 14th, Hoodi upgrade on October 28th, and mainnet upgrade on December 3rd. The exact date, time, and epoch number will be reconfirmed in the coming days. Developers also agree that, based on some preliminary analysis of Fusaka Devnet-5, blob capacity should more than double within two weeks of Fusaka's activation. Initially, Fusaka will not make any changes to blob capacity. After the first week, the first BPO fork will activate, increasing the target/maximum blob count from 6/9 to 10/15. A week after the first BPO fork, the second BPO fork will activate, further increasing these values to 14/21.
