Etoro

eToro is a global social trading and investing platform. Founded in 2007, it operates by allowing users to trade various financial assets, including stocks, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and currencies. A key feature of eToro is its social aspect, which enables users to observe, follow, and copy the trading strategies of other investors. This "copy trading" functionality is a prominent part of its service.

The platform provides a user-friendly interface designed for both beginners and experienced traders. eToro offers a range of educational resources to help users understand financial markets and trading concepts. It is regulated by several financial authorities around the world, including the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK, aiming to provide a secure trading environment. eToro's business model primarily involves charging spreads on trades, though other fees may apply depending on the transaction. The company has grown significantly since its inception, establishing a large international user base.
