“We are looking at all the required regulatory processes in order to operate in the US. Our recent $100 million find raising effort allows us to expand geographically and enabled us to setup eToro in the US as well as to launch our crypto to crypto exchange and wallet. We have always thought that this is a very big endeavour especially for a company that is coming from Europe into the US, but we have the resources and the passion to execute our plans,” the CEO of eToro explained.
When asked about the company’s marketing strategy, Mr Assia shared: “We will start by organically building a users waiting list. We’ve had a lot of requests over the years to launch in this region of the world and will gradually execute our plan. We also have hundreds of thousands of users who trade cryptocurrencies. All of the top 10 cryptos offered on eToro are actively traded and our users have access to comments and news from our community.”

eToro’s clients will have the ability to access a product that has been missing from the US trading market for some time. Clients will get access to a community feed and tools, which enable them to discuss their trade ideas and follow investment strategies of other U.S. users.
“eToro will continue to focus on simplicity and user-friendliness so that more diverse groups will feel welcomed into the global crypto community. U.S. crypto holders have a strong appetite for diversified portfolios and we’re committed to offering the best tools and assets to help them manage their investments all in one place,” explained Assia.
The company has appointed Guy Hirsch as USA Managing Director. Commenting on the prospects for the cryptocurrency industry he shared: “We are quickly moving toward a tokenized world, and digital investment platforms need to provide access to the assets investors want, allow the sharing of knowledge, and make transactions easy.
