Nasdaq (Nasdaq: NDAQ) and eToro (Nasdaq: ETOR) have expanded
their partnership to provide real-time trading data for more than 210
additional stocks listed on Nasdaq’s Nordic exchanges in Stockholm, Helsinki, and Copenhagen.
eToro’s global retail clients will have complimentary
access, making it the first non-Nordic broker to offer this data. The move
builds on eToro’s existing U.S. equity data partnership with Nasdaq.
Retail Activity Rises on Nasdaq Nordic
Yossi Brandes, VP of Execution Services at eToro
“eToro has built a global investment platform
serving the needs of users from 75 countries around the world. Many retail
investors still have a strong home bias and this partnership enables us to
offer a broader range of local stocks as well as superior pricing data for our
users investing in European companies,” said Yossi Brandes, VP of Execution
Services at eToro.
Retail participation in Nasdaq Nordic markets has risen from
7.7% in 2018 to 10.6% in Q1 2025. The exchanges have delivered some of the
highest annualized real returns globally from 1966 to 2024.
Companies such as Volvo, H&M, Nokia, and Novo Nordisk
are listed on these markets, along with over 460 firms on Nasdaq Nordic’s
growth platform, First North, where retail investors accounted for 42% of
activity in Q1 2025.
eToro Offers Local Currency Trading Globally
The partnership is part of efforts by Nasdaq and eToro to
increase access to regional markets for global investors. It aligns with
Nasdaq’s provision of local market data to retail platforms and eToro’s
collaborations with other exchanges, including HKEX, Deutsche Boerse, LSEG, and
ADX. Users in the UK and Europe can trade in local currencies through eToro.
The partnership adds to eToro’s sports sponsorships,
including Premiership Women’s Rugby and Premier League clubs. The company aims
to support gender equality in sports and investing through campaigns like
LoudInvesting, promoting accessible and visible investment opportunities.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.
