eToro announced some additions to its trading platform as it pushes further into tokenisation, unveiling 24/5 trading for US stocks and ETFs, new futures contracts, and plans for tokenised equities.
eToro Expands 24/5 Trading, Futures and Tokenized Stocks
The multi-asset platform revealed the move during its global webinar, eToro Unlocked: Trade Without Boundaries, as part of its goal to make markets more accessible and responsive to investor needs.
Users will now be able to trade 100 of the most popular US-listed stocks and ETFs around the clock during the working week, with plans to broaden this offering over time.
“24/5 trading… empowers users to trade in real-time in response to market events or simply when it’s convenient to them,” said CEO Yoni Assia.
In partnership with CME Group, eToro is also rolling out spot-quoted futures. These new instruments combine futures benefits with spot pricing and smaller contract sizes, and are already available in select European markets.
Looking ahead, eToro will begin launching tokenised versions of US-listed stocks as ERC20 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. “Tokenization removes boundaries, providing transparency and control,” Assia said, adding that the firm aims to eventually tokenize every asset on its platform.
Founded in 2007, eToro has long championed blockchain’s potential to transform finance. “Blockchain technology will facilitate the greatest ever transfer of wealth,” said Assia, citing regulatory momentum in both the U.S. and Europe as key enablers for the next phase of growth.
