What is eToro?

eToro is a multi-asset brokerage and social trading platform that allows users to trade and invest in stocks, cryptocurrencies, ETFs, and other assets through a unified web and mobile app. It provides access to stocks, cryptocurrencies and various ETFs tracking major indices.

The platform's key mechanic is CopyTrader, which enables users to automatically replicate the real-time trades and portfolio allocations of selected experienced investors. Fees include flat charges per trade for certain stocks (US, UK, EU), fixed commissions on crypto positions, and zero commission on specific index-tracking ETFs. Users can hold cash balances to earn interest (up to 3.55% annually, paid monthly, with conditions).

It includes educational resources through eToro Academy, covering investing basics, crypto, stocks, and analysis via courses, podcasts, and webinars. The platform operates as a regulated broker (with partnerships for fund security in top-tier institutions) and supports global users in over 100 countries, though availability varies by region (e.g., separate US site, crypto restrictions in some areas). Many assets, particularly crypto and non-stock instruments, involve CFD trading in certain jurisdictions rather than direct ownership.
