eToro’s Journey: Pioneering Social Investing & CFD Trading
Back in 2007, three visionaries in Tel Aviv had a bold idea—to make trading accessible to everyone, not just Wall Street insiders. That idea became eToro, a fintech pioneer that’s rewritten the rules of investing.
From CFDs to crypto trading, eToro has empowered millions with intuitive, user-friendly financial tools. Its game-changing OpenBook platform introduced Copy Trading, letting everyday investors mirror top-performing traders with a single click.
Fast-forward to 2023, and eToro raised $250M, hitting a $3.5B valuation, with a potential $5B IPO on the horizon in 2025. As it continues its global expansion, one mission remains clear—to democratize finance and make markets truly open to all.
