Polish insurance giant bets on Bitcoin

Jacob Lazurek Coinpaprika

Poland’s largest insurance company introduces a Bitcoin-linked investment product, offering easier access to crypto exposure.

PZU has announced the launch of a fund that will track the performance of Bitcoin, allowing customers to invest in the cryptocurrency indirectly. This marks the first time such a large Polish financial institution has offered a regulated and traditional way to gain exposure to digital assets.

With this new product, investors can now access Bitcoin returns without needing to use crypto exchanges or digital wallets, making it appealing to those unfamiliar with blockchain technology or concerned about the risks of self-custody.

This move could broaden crypto adoption among Polish investors and signals that even the insurance sector recognizes the growing importance of digital assets.
