eToro Ups Crypto Listings to 15, Adds Support for Tezos (XTZ)
- In addition to Tezos, eToro customers can already trade the actual underlying assets of 15 coins.

Tezos (XTZ), a cryptocurrency with a market valuation of over $950 million, is the next coin to join eToro’s list of featured virtual assets.
The introduction of new instruments adds to eToro’s rapidly expanding suite of altcoins. The Israeli social investment platform has had a string of recent announcements in a major push to attract crypto traders and grow its user base. Earlier this year, Gibraltar’s financial services watchdog has awarded its cryptocurrency arm, eToroX, its bespoke license for Blockchain Blockchain Blockchain comprises a digital network of blocks with a comprehensive ledger of transactions made in a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or other altcoins.One of the signature features of blockchain is that it is maintained across more than one computer. The ledger can be public or private (permissioned.) In this sense, blockchain is immune to the manipulation of data making it not only open but verifiable. Because a blockchain is stored across a network of computers, it is very difficult to tamper with. The Evolution of BlockchainBlockchain was originally invented by an individual or group of people under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. The purpose of blockchain was originally to serve as the public transaction ledger of Bitcoin, the world’s first cryptocurrency.In particular, bundles of transaction data, called “blocks”, are added to the ledger in a chronological fashion, forming a “chain.” These blocks include things like date, time, dollar amount, and (in some cases) the public addresses of the sender and the receiver.The computers responsible for upholding a blockchain network are called “nodes.” These nodes carry out the duties necessary to confirm the transactions and add them to the ledger. In exchange for their work, the nodes receive rewards in the form of crypto tokens.By storing data via a peer-to-peer network (P2P), blockchain controls for a wide range of risks that are traditionally inherent with data being held centrally.Of note, P2P blockchain networks lack centralized points of vulnerability. Consequently, hackers cannot exploit these networks via normalized means nor does the network possess a central failure point.In order to hack or alter a blockchain’s ledger, more than half of the nodes must be compromised. Looking ahead, blockchain technology is an area of extensive research across multiple industries, including financial services and payments, among others.

In addition to Tezos, eToro customers can already trade the actual underlying assets of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, XRP, Litecoin, Ethereum Classic, Dash, Stellar, NEO, EOS, Cardano, IOTA, ZCASH, and Tron. The latest addition expands the total number of cryptocurrency assets available on eToro’s platforms to fifteen.
Diversification with higher-ranked coins
Unlike many other brokers, eToro does not simply adhere to offering crypto CFDs but also allows clients to purchase the assets, with eToro acting as custodian and holding the digital coins on behalf of clients.
Tezos has set up a complex governance structure whereby the token’s developers own the code, but the $232 million raised in the ICO, which has now grown to nearly $1 billion, is managed and controlled by an independent Swiss foundation.
The Tezos project and its founders, however, are facing several class-action lawsuits in the United States. Plaintiffs accuse them of fraudulently marketing the sale of their tokens as charitable, non-refundable contributions in order to avoid governmental and private scrutiny.
Commenting on the news, eToro co-founder and CEO Yoni Assia said: "Tezos is making great progress and some banks are already choosing its blockchain network for security token offerings worth over a billion dollars. As we see financial institutions move more into the world of crypto, it is important that ordinary investors can take advantage of these technological developments, which is why we’re excited to be adding coins like Tezos to eToro.
