XTB review: Record ETF trading value reflects growing investor trust
XTB, one of Europe’s largest publicly listed brokerage firms, has been awarded for achieving the highest trading value per client account in the exchange-traded fund (ETF) market, underscoring its growing influence in Poland’s rapidly expanding capital markets. The distinction was presented during the 2025 Stock Exchange Year Summary Gala, held on January 14, 2026, at the headquarters of the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE).
- Chosen by 3 200+ local traders in the last 3 months.
- Traders earn on average 12% more per month vs other brokers.
The award comes at a landmark moment for Poland’s financial markets. The year 2025 marked a record-breaking period for the WSE and the broader Polish capital market, capped by an unprecedented rally that pushed the benchmark WIG index above 100,000 points for the first time in its history.
A historic year for the Warsaw Stock Exchange
Market organizers described 2025 as the strongest bull market of the 21st century in Poland. Surging equity prices and heightened investor confidence attracted billions of zlotys in new capital to the WSE. This influx was fueled by the coordinated efforts of investors, listed companies, financial intermediaries, and regulators, all contributing to improved liquidity and market depth.
During the gala, a total of 29 awards and distinctions were granted to institutions that played a meaningful role in the development of the Polish capital market over the past year. XTB’s recognition highlights the accelerating shift toward long-term investing and diversified portfolios, with ETFs increasingly favored by both retail and professional investors.
XTB’s growing appeal to long-term investors
According to the company, the award reflects not only high trading activity but also the trust clients place in XTB’s investment infrastructure and product offering. XTB has steadily expanded access to global ETFs, equities, and other financial instruments, while emphasizing transparency, competitive pricing, and user-friendly trading platforms.
For traders and investors, XTB’s appeal lies in its broad ETF selection, intuitive mobile and desktop platforms, and educational resources aimed at supporting long-term investment strategies. The firm’s ability to generate the highest trading value per client account in ETFs suggests deeper client engagement rather than purely speculative activity.
Looking ahead, XTB is expected to benefit from continued interest in passive and long-term investing, particularly as market volatility encourages diversification.
