New Yorkers can access crypto within eToro’s multi-asset platform supported by educational tools and a social investing community that empowers users to participate in digital markets with confidence. A full list of cryptoassets available for trading in New York can be viewed here.
This milestone follows years of close collaboration with regulators, including securing both the New York State BitLicense and Money Transmitter License — among the most rigorous regulatory frameworks in the United States. The launch underscores eToro’s long-standing commitment to operating with the highest standards of compliance while expanding responsible access to the next generation of financial assets.
As interest in cryptoassets continues to grow, recent research from eToro’s Retail Investor Beat shows that 36% of American retail investors currently hold cryptoassets, with an additional 17% planning to increase their exposure.* By opening access to more than 9 million New Yorkers, eToro is expanding participation in digital finance while reinforcing its mission to open the global markets so that everyone can trade and invest in a simple and transparent way.
Andrew McCormick, Head of eToro US said: “New York is the epicenter of financial markets and a hub of innovation. Completing our U.S. footprint here is both a strategic milestone and a reflection of our commitment to broadening responsible access to the next generation of financial markets. We’re proud to welcome New Yorkers into our global investing community and to provide access to digital assets within a diversified, multi-asset platform built for the future of finance.”
