Hyperliquid ETP Starts Trading in Warsaw
Virtune has listed its existing Hyperliquid ETP in Warsaw, giving Polish investors HYPE exposure through a PLN-traded security without requiring a crypto wallet.
Key Takeaways
- Warsaw is the ETP’s fourth exchange listing.
- Each unit represents approximately 0.1 HYPE.
- The annual management fee is 0.95%.
- Listing alone does not prove investor demand.
Warsaw is the fourth listing, not a new product
Virtune began trading its Hyperliquid ETP on the Warsaw Stock Exchange on September 17 under the ticker ETNVIRHYPE. It trades in Polish złoty and uses the same ISIN, SE0028425314, as the product’s other European listings.
A Polish investor can now place a PLN order through a broker that supports the Warsaw listing. Availability may differ between platforms, so the exchange debut does not guarantee that every local broker will offer it immediately.

The Polish listing is therefore an access expansion, not Europe’s first HYPE investment product. It also takes a different approach from Payward’s proposed regulated U.S. markets running on Hyperliquid, which concern derivatives infrastructure rather than ownership of this ETP.
Physically backed does not mean direct HYPE ownership
According to the listing announcement, Virtune holds enough HYPE to cover the value of the outstanding securities. The assets are stored through Coinbase Custody and BitGo Europe, while a separate collateral agent represents investors.
The buyer receives a security in a brokerage account, not HYPE in a personal wallet. The position follows the token’s value, but it cannot be transferred to another blockchain address or used directly on Hyperliquid.
One unit currently represents about 0.1 HYPE
“1:1 exposure” describes the backing and intended price relationship. It does not mean that one ETP unit contains one HYPE.
The official product page showed approximately 0.0996 HYPE per unit on September 16. The product had 200,000 units outstanding, net assets of around $1.56 million and a net asset value close to $7.80 per unit.
Virtune’s reported $320 million under management and more than 160,000 investors cover its entire business. Those figures should not be presented as assets or investors belonging to the Hyperliquid product.
A PLN 10,000 position costs about PLN 95 annually
The ETP carries a 0.95% annual management fee. The charge is reflected in product performance rather than collected as a separate yearly payment.
This is an illustration based on an unchanged position value. The actual fee effect varies as the ETP rises or falls.
Broker commission and the difference between buying and selling prices can add further costs. The product is not presented as a staking ETP, so investors should not expect HYPE staking rewards to offset the management fee.
Trading in złoty does not reduce HYPE volatility
Investors can place orders in PLN through a compatible broker and hold the ETP beside conventional securities.
The position can still lose value when HYPE falls. A PLN quotation does not make the underlying token less volatile.
HYPE trades continuously, while the ETP follows Warsaw exchange hours. A large overnight or weekend move may therefore appear as a price gap when the market reopens. Virtune’s announcement does not describe a currency hedge, so PLN should be understood as the dealing currency rather than protection from currency movements.
Warsaw volume will provide the real answer
The listing creates a route into the product, but Virtune has not disclosed Polish investor numbers, net inflows, trading volume or average spreads. Those figures will matter more than the number of exchanges displaying the same security.
Growth beyond the ETP’s current $1.56 million in assets would indicate new capital entering the product. Warsaw volume and spreads will show whether local investors can trade it efficiently. Until then, the product is easier to reach, but its Polish demand remains untested.

That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
