About eToro
eToro is an Israeli company founded in 2007 in Tel Aviv, offering both a mobile app and a web trading platform. It has grown to serve more than 25 million customers across roughly 140 countries. On the crypto side, eToro supports 20+ cryptocurrencies, but the platform's real breadth is in non-crypto assets — stocks, ETFs, and a wide range of other financial instruments trade alongside crypto in the same account. Trading fees run above the market average, but eToro remains popular for its beginner-friendly interface and simplicity. The platform is regulated by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Cyprus's CySEC.
CopyPortfolios
eToro's CopyPortfolios let users copy the strategies of other investors or ready-made thematic portfolios automatically. Some portfolios are crypto-focused, others mix crypto with traditional assets or skip crypto entirely, and some are built around AI/ML-driven strategies. This makes CopyPortfolios a useful option for risk-averse investors or anyone who wants to avoid impulsive, emotion-driven trading decisions.
Demo Account
New users can practice on eToro with a demo account loaded with $100,000 in virtual funds, allowing them to get a feel for the markets and the platform's interface without risking real money.
eToro Money
eToro Money is a bank account linked directly to a user's eToro trading account, enabling instant deposits and withdrawals. It comes with a free Visa debit card that works worldwide at competitive foreign exchange rates, with no monthly account fees.
