Provider profile
eToro
eToro combines a social feed with dealing in shares, cryptoassets and, outside the United States, contracts for difference. The US product has been narrower than the international one. Treating them as the same platform is a common mistake.
Why WiT Markets covers this provider
eToro is useful in a comparison set because it forces a question other brokers can dodge: are you buying the asset, or a CFD that references it, and are you copying a person rather than choosing an instrument? Those are structural features, not decorations.
Provider overview
Different regulated companies serve different countries. eToro (UK) Ltd has been an FCA-authorised firm. US clients have been offered a securities account through a US broker-dealer affiliate, without the CFD product set. Australian clients have been served by a local company. The exact permissions should be read on the relevant register. Copy trading, staking and crypto transfers are not confirmed as available in every country row.
Fees and protections
Spreads, overnight fees on CFDs, crypto conversion costs and withdrawal fees are Not confirmed on this page. Compensation schemes differ by entity. US SIPC discussion applies only to a US broker-dealer member and never to a fall in the price of a stock or a token. FCA authorisation of a UK entity does not authorise the group worldwide.

Why WiT Markets covers this provider
eToro is profiled because readers already meet this multi-asset platform when they look at Stocks, ETFs, Crypto, CFDs. Coverage is not a recommendation, and it is not evidence of a commercial relationship. None is recorded for this firm.
What to confirm before opening an account
- Which legal entity would actually serve your country. A global brand is not that answer.
- Whether you are eligible for the account type you want.
- The current fee schedule, including FX conversion, not a headline commission.
- What investor protection applies to that entity, and what it does not cover.
- Which products you can actually reach from that account.
- How withdrawals work, and in which currency.

Is eToro a crypto exchange?
It offers cryptoassets in some entities and also offers securities or CFDs. It is not accurate to file it only as an exchange or only as a stockbroker.
