The expansion follows a series of product and market additions over the past year. eToro added access to 25 stock exchanges and increased its crypto asset range to more than 150 last year. It also introduced stock margin trading, broadened its derivatives offering, and expanded region-specific products, including UK ISAs and Australian savings accounts, as part of efforts to diversify revenue streams.

eToro Adds Tokyo Stocks

The move increases the number of exchanges available on eToro to 26, with access to more than 11,000 common stocks. Yossi Brandes, the firm’s Vice President of Execution Services, said the launch is “another major step in making eToro a truly global investing platform.” He added that the company now offers “access to more than 11,000 common stocks across 26 exchanges worldwide.”

Brandes said that with access to the Nikkei 225, users can trade “some of Japan’s most iconic and liquid companies.” He noted that Japan is “the world’s third-largest equity market” and said the expansion provides more opportunities to diversify across regions and sectors.

The company also launched a new investment portfolio, JapanEconomy, built around 30 stocks listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange . The portfolio is structured based on market capitalisation, liquidity, and analyst consensus. About half of the allocation is focused on industrial and technology companies, while the remainder covers consumer, communications, and financial sectors.

Japan Return Expectations Rise in Survey

Survey data published by eToro indicates growing retail investor interest in Japan. According to its Retail Investor Beat, the share of respondents who expect Japan’s stock market to generate the strongest returns over the next five years or more rose from 5% to 14% over a two-year period.

Lale Akoner, Global Market Strategist at eToro, said Japan is “re-emerging as a structural equity story.” She said reforms and policy changes are “reset[ting] the market’s long-term return profile” and added that companies are showing “better earnings visibility.” She also said governance reforms are “enhanc[ing] shareholder returns.”

Akoner said Japan is attracting global investors seeking diversification, particularly away from the US. She described the market as combining “depth, liquidity, and structural reform momentum” and said access to the Nikkei 225 allows retail investors to participate in ongoing changes in the market.
