eToro expands trading and advances tokenized assets with 24/5 stock access and blockchain-based equity tokens for global investors.
eToro expands trading and advances tokenized assets as eToro Group announced today in its global webinar, eToro Unlocked: Trade Without Boundaries, a significant evolution in its product lineup as it accelerates toward a tokenized financial future. Co-founder and CEO Yoni Assia reaffirmed the company’s long-standing belief in the transformative power of blockchain, emphasizing that tokenization will drive the largest wealth transfer in history by migrating traditional assets to the blockchain.
While existing vested interests continue to pose challenges, Assia noted that regulatory milestones like Europe’s MiCA and the Genius Act in the U.S. are creating new opportunities to build digital assets that are both legally backed and regulated. To further this vision, eToro shared that it will expand its trading hours to allow 24/5 trading for an initial list of 100 of the most popular US-listed stocks and ETFs. This marks a strategic step forward in giving users more flexibility to respond to market developments in real-time.
Additionally, eToro introduced spot-quoted futures in partnership with CME Group. These contracts combine the advantages of futures trading with spot-based pricing and longer expiries, offering an accessible way to engage with both stock and crypto markets. While currently live in select European countries, the platform intends to roll out these contracts globally.
Moreover, Assia confirmed eToro’s continued expansion into tokenization. Since its acquisition of the Danish token startup Firmo in 2019, eToro has launched tokenized commodities like GOLDX and SLVX and now plans to bring US-listed equities onto the Ethereum blockchain as ERC20 tokens. This initiative will allow users not only to trade stocks as tokens but also to redeem them for underlying positions and integrate them into the broader DeFi space.
Assia emphasized that extended trading hours were just the beginning, and now, tokenization will push access to a 24/7 model. He concluded that the goal is to remove barriers, increase transparency, and democratize finance, giving global investors full control over their assets anytime, anywhere.
