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.
Trading
outside regular market hours typically comes with lower liquidity and wider
spreads, particularly during nighttime sessions when fewer participants are
active. The platform warns that stop loss and take profit orders may trigger
during extended hours due to increased price volatility.
What Else Is Included in
the Updates?
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.
Among the list of 100 stocks are some of the largest Wall Street companies, including Visa, Alibaba, Coca-Cola, Nike, and McDonald’s.

The Israeli
fintech recently joined
the ranks of publicly listed companies on Wall Street and is traded on
NASDAQ under the ticker ETOR.
From the closing price on its debut day in mid-May, the stock is currently
trading approximately 5% higher, around the $64 level.
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.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
