eToro (founded 2007) is best known for social and copy trading — you can mirror the portfolios of other users. In the US it operates as eToro USA LLC, offering crypto alongside a limited set of stocks and ETFs.
Who eToro is for
Beginners who want a guided, community-driven experience will like eToro. Advanced order types and deep crypto selection are not its strength; the appeal is the all-in-one broker plus the copy-trading network.
Fees & pricing
eToro prices crypto via a spread (around 1%) rather than maker/taker commissions, plus withdrawal and occasional inactivity fees. There is no traditional spot “taker fee” line item.
Security & regulation
eToro is regulated in multiple jurisdictions (e.g. CySEC, FCA) and in the US through FINRA/SIPC for its brokerage arm. Assets are segregated and custody is managed in-house.
