The firm has added five new cryptoassets, including LayerZero, ZKsync, Pyth, EigenLayer, and Swell.
The recent CySEC permit has allowed the company to comply with MiCA and MiFID regulations.
eToro has announced the addition of five new cryptoassets:
LayerZero, ZKsync, Pyth, EigenLayer, and Swell.
This expansion follows the approval of a permit for eToro
(Europe) Ltd, a subsidiary of the platform, by the Cyprus Securities and
Exchange Commission (CySEC).
New Layer-2 and DeFi Assets Launched

"We’re pleased to announce the latest additions to our
cryptoasset offering," said Omri Ross, Chief Blockchain Officer at eToro.
LayerZero enables communication between different
blockchains. ZKsync is a Layer-2 solution for Ethereum, speeding up
transactions and lowering costs. Pyth provides real-time market data for DeFi
platforms. EigenLayer enhances Ethereum’s security and efficiency through
restaking. Swell is a staking protocol for Ethereum that integrates with DeFi
platforms.
"We aim to offer our users access to a broad range of
cryptos from longer-established, more well-known names through to
‘experimental’ tokens which represent newer projects in the blockchain space,"
Ross added.
New Experimental Cryptoassets Unavailable in Select
Regions
EigenLayer and Swell are classified as experimental
cryptoassets. These assets are highly volatile, have low liquidity, and may
offer new technologies. Other experimental assets on eToro include Toncoin,
Pepe, and Official Trump. They carry higher risks, such as stability and
liquidity concerns.
To manage these risks, eToro has imposed limits on the value
of positions users can open in experimental assets, based on their eToro Club
tier.
eToro has been providing retail clients access to crypto
markets since 2013. However, the new cryptoassets are not available to users in
the United States, UAE, Germany, or Australia. The platform allows users to
buy, hold, and sell real underlying assets from over 100 cryptoassets.
It also ensures the platform's compliance with MiFID, the EU
directive overseeing financial markets. These regulations are designed to
improve investor protection, increase transparency, and enhance regulatory
oversight.

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
