eToro pushes tokenised stocks with 24/5 trading

July 30, 2025

eToro has unveiled a significant expansion to its trading platform as it deepens its commitment to a blockchain-powered financial future.

In a global webinar titled ‘eToro Unlocked: Trade Without Boundaries’, the company announced enhancements that move it closer to fully realising a tokenised investment ecosystem.

eToro co-founder and CEO Yoni Assia said, “We’ve been long-term believers in a tokenized future. Blockchain technology will facilitate the greatest ever transfer of wealth, as traditional assets are tokenized and moved onto the blockchain. Hurdles remain, namely vested interests, however, we are witnessing key milestones on that journey.

“New regulations, such as MiCA in Europe and the passing of the Genius Act in the US, makes the tokenization of real world assets a new opportunity to create digital assets that are legally backed and regulated. The benefits of tokenization, in particular 24/7 transferability, have been clearly demonstrated by stable coins and these opportunities are now expanding to more asset classes.”

One of the most notable developments is the expansion of eToro’s 24/5 trading feature, which will now include 100 of the most traded US-listed stocks and ETFs.

The platform is also among the first to offer spot-quoted futures, launched in partnership with CME Group, it said. These contracts are designed to make futures trading more accessible, combining the advantages of traditional futures with the familiarity of spot pricing and longer-term expiries. The feature is currently available in selected European markets and will roll out to more users globally.

Assia said, “We want to offer our global user base the flexibility to trade on their time-frame. 24/5 trading whether through US equities or spot-quoted futures empowers users to trade in real-time in response to market events or simply when it’s convenient to them. We will continue to expand this offering to put our users in control of when they trade

eToro’s focus on tokenisation isn’t new. Since Assia co-authored the foundational Colored Coins whitepaper in 2012, the company has championed blockchain innovation. In 2019, it acquired Danish tokenisation firm Firmo and launched digital representations of gold, silver, and various fiat currencies. This legacy has now evolved with the announcement of tokenised US equities, issued as ERC20 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain.

Reflecting on the company’s long-term strategy, Yoni Assia said, “Our mission has always been to open the global markets. Extended hours trading was the first step, 24/5 takes it a step further, however tokenization brings 24/7 accessibility. Tokenization removes boundaries, providing transparency and control. It has the potential to democratize finance, making assets more accessible to more people.

“We began our tokenization journey in 2019 and we’re excited to now be able to significantly progress that initiative. Our goal is to tokenize every asset on eToro – starting with stocks – enabling our users to move tokenized assets onto the blockchain and from there integrate them into the broader DEFI ecosystem. Users will then be able to redeem tokenized stocks for the underlying position on eToro and vice versa.”
