eToro forges ahead in a digital future, introducing 24/5 trading, futures, and tokenized equities
eToro Expands into Tokenized Stock Trading on Ethereum
eToro, the trading and investing platform, is taking a significant step forward in its mission to create a "tokenized future." The company has announced that it will be launching tokenized US stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain, starting with an initial list of 100 of the most popular US-listed stocks and ETFs [1][2].
This development marks a significant expansion of eToro's product offering and trading hours. The tokenized equities will be available for trade 24 hours a day, five days a week, allowing users to respond to market events in real-time beyond regular trading hours [1][2]. This expansion builds on eToro's previous experience with tokenized commodities like GOLDX and SLVX [1][2][3].
The tokenization of these assets removes boundaries, providing transparency and control, and has the potential to democratize finance. Users will be able to redeem tokenized stocks for the underlying position on eToro and vice versa [1]. Additionally, users will be able to move tokenized assets onto the blockchain and integrate them into the broader decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
Yoni Assia, eToro's Co-founder and CEO, is a long-term believer in a tokenized future. He believes that blockchain technology will facilitate the greatest ever transfer of wealth as real-world assets move onto distributed ledger technology, enabled also by emerging regulations such as MiCA in Europe and the GENIUS Act in the US [1][4].
The official announcement and global webinar revealing these details occurred at the end of July 2025, with the rollout of tokenized equities and new 24/5 trading already in progress as of late July 2025 [3][4][5]. eToro's offering of spot-quoted futures, a collaboration with CME Group, provides greater flexibility to trade stock and crypto markets [1].
eToro's goal is to tokenize every asset on its platform, starting with stocks. The company plans to offer spot-quoted futures to a growing proportion of its global userbase, providing access to a wider range of markets and assets [1]. However, hurdles in the tokenization process include vested interests. Nonetheless, eTora's mission to open the global markets and provide 24/7 accessibility remains at the forefront of its strategy.

Investing in financial assets just became more accessible with eToro's launch of tokenized US stocks and ETFs as ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain, marking a significant step forward in the company's mission to create a tokenized future. This technology-driven approach is revolutionizing the finance industry, democratizing wealth, and providing investors with real-time market response capabilities even beyond regular trading hours.
