The fintech has expanded investment hours for its most popular shares from Wall Street.
It is also introducing spot-quoted futures (SQFs) and plans to launch tokenized equities in the form of ERC-20 coins soon.

eToro, the publicly listed Israeli fintech firm, has expanded trading hours for its 100 most popular US stocks, allowing users to buy and sell shares around the clock, five days a week. The company is also venturing into tokenized shares and
launching spot-quoted futures (SQFs).
Starting today (Tuesday), eToro clients can trade selected stocks, from Mastercard and Snap to Alphabet, outside of the regular market opening times.
eToro Goes 24/5: Trade US Stocks Any Time From Monday to Friday
The new
24/5 trading schedule means investors can now trade these American equities
outside regular US market hours, including overnight sessions. All order types –
market orders, stop losses, and take profit orders – remain available during
the extended hours for both new and existing positions.
The change
affects all position types on the platform, covering leveraged and
non-leveraged trades as well as long and short positions. Position values and
profit-loss calculations will now update continuously to reflect the
round-the-clock pricing.
The
announcement was supposed to take place during eToro's first-ever live product reveal during a
webinar held on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, at 2 PM GMT. However, eToro clients (or at least some of them) received an email about the upcoming changes only 30 minutes before the feature went live.
“We’ve had
an exceptional 18 years during which eToro has built up-to-date tools for our
customers, enabling them to trade stocks around the world,” Yoni Assia, the CEO
and Founder of eToro, commented during the live online event.
Asia
further revealed that eToro is also launching new types of instruments,
including spot-quoted futures (SQFs), which closely resemble perpetual futures
found in the crypto market. These instruments are already available in selected
markets and will be rolled out globally in the near future.
eToro's CEO also
mentioned plans related to stock tokenization and announced the forthcoming launch of U.S.-listed equities as ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain.
“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,” Asia added in a press release published after the webinar. “Tokenization removes boundaries, providing transparency and control. It has the potential to democratize finance, making assets more accessible to more people.”
Additionally,
eToro is expanding the number of cryptoassets available in the United States,
which now exceeds 100. Another notable change is the ability to purchase assets
not only with fiat currencies but also with cryptocurrencies held in users’
eToro wallets. This
enables, for example, the purchase of Tesla shares using Ethereum instead of
dollars or euros.
In June, eToro updated
its debit card offering in the UK, competing with growing competition from
other providers. Currently, cardholders can expect up
to 4% cashback on transactions in any UK-listed stock of their choice from
the available list. However, monthly rewards are capped at £1,500 in stocks. Now, the same offering was also introduced to other markets.
Extended
Hours Bring New Considerations
For users
with recurring investment plans targeting these 24/5 assets, orders will now
execute immediately rather than waiting for market open. The
platform advises existing position holders to review their current trades ahead
of the transition. eToro has made customer support available for users with
questions about the changes.
Recently,
eToro has been introducing a range of additional products and services across
various parts of the world. Last week, the company launched
crypto and index futures on the Spanish market with a lower minimum
starting at $200 to get started.
Also this
month, eToro
partnered with BridgeWise, an AI-based investment intelligence provider, to
launch a portfolio called MidCapDiverse. The portfolio focuses on US mid-cap
stocks.

The trades that taught me the most aren't the ones that worked. They're the ones that didn't — or the ones I almost caught and didn't have the nerve to ride. In this session, I'll tell you about the Brexit miss, the SNB shocker that nearly handed me a 5400% return, the BoJ surprise that punched me in the gut, and a few wins along the way. Each story carries a lesson, but the lessons aren't the point. Everyone who trades long enough collects a portfolio of moments like these; what separates the people who stay in the game is what they do with them.

Most market post-mortems describe what happened to prices. Few describe what happened in the trading room while the position was open: the entry conviction, the moments that tested it, and the exit decision that closed the book.
This session brings one seasoned trader to the stage for an unfiltered account of the position that still defines how they think about markets.
Attendees will walk away with:
-A first-hand account of how a conviction trade is built, from thesis and entry through position management and exit
-Understanding of what turns a market observation into a live position, and what holds it when conditions shift
-Insight into how timing, execution quality, and market structure shaped the final result
-Perspective on what the trade revealed about edge, risk tolerance, and when to hold through a position moving against you
-Clarity on what separates a well-built trade from a well-timed one

As crypto and CFD trading continue to expand across Africa, access to advanced tools and market insights remains uneven. This session explores how AI and blockchain can bridge that gap by empowering informal traders and underserved communities to participate more effectively in digital financial markets. The discussion will focus on practical applications of technology to improve accessibility, education, and investment outcomes in both formal and informal sectors.
In this discussion, we will explore:
-The role of AI in democratizing access to trading tools, insights, and strategy development
-How crypto and blockchain can enable broader participation beyond traditional financial systems
-Addressing access barriers: infrastructure, education, and affordability in underserved communities
-Opportunities for brokers and platforms to tap into the informal trading economy
