The platform revenue soars 200%, contributing to strong IPO growth
eToro becomes first U.S.-based crypto company to go public in 2025
eToro, a popular cryptocurrency and stock trading platform, has officially listed on the Nasdaq exchange. The company listed 6 million shares at $52, and as a result, it raised about $310 million. As a result, eToro is now worth $4.2 billion.
eToro’s Crypto Revenue Grows Over 200% in 2024
The company was able to go public because of its outstanding financial achievements. eToro’s net income recorded a big climb, from $15.3 million in 2023 to $192.4 million in 2024. This big gain happened as people became more interested in cryptocurrency and joined eToro from all over the world.
The company has made a strong effort to grow its crypto services. Revenue from crypto assets grew by more than 200% in 2024 and reached above $12 million. For net trading revenue, crypto has grown from 10% in the previous year to now accounting for 25%. This increase proves that eToro is making the most of growing interest in cryptocurrencies among smaller investors.
It generates income by charging trading fees that are made up of spreads on orders. In addition, it brings in income from services other than trading, such as currency conversions and fees for withdrawals.
At the end of 2024, eToro reported 3.5 million funded account holders in more than 75 countries. More people joining from many countries indicate that eToro is becoming popular internationally.
Many think that eToro’s decision to launch its IPO now is good for investor confidence. Economic conditions have improved lately, which suggests the IPO market is starting to improve. Donald Trump’s return to the presidency in January 2025 and the drop in interest rates and inflation have both contributed to a recovery in market confidence. In the first part of the year, companies like CoreWeave had successful IPOs, and this encouraged eToro to move ahead with its plans.
eToro Shares Surpass Expectations on First Day of Trading
eToro has tried to go public before this. In 2022, the company first planned a merger with a SPAC, which would have given the company a valuation over $10 billion. However, the plan was called off because of the market falling. Even after canceling the SPAC deal, eToro stayed ready for a public listing and is now listed on Nasdaq.
The CEO and co-founder of eToro, Yoni Assia, said the firm was waiting to ensure this would be the best time to go public. eToro, which began in 2007, is about to make a big difference in how ordinary people participate in financial markets. Listing on Nasdaq shows that investors are now viewing crypto trading platforms differently.
The first day’s trading of eToro shares exceeded all expectations, indicating that a lot of investors wanted the company’s stock. It is clear that investors believe eToro has good growth prospects moving forward.
eToro’s listing is important, as it is the first for a U.S.-based crypto company in recent months. Because of the uncertainties related to tariffs and deals, a lot of companies chose to delay their IPOs. Although many companies delayed plans, eToro continued with its IPO in May 2025 and became a leader for others in the industry.
