eToro to expand commission-free offering

Yoni Assia, CEO and co-founder of eToro, said in the statement: “Coronavirus induced market volatility has been a focus for media globally and has brought the topic of investing increasingly onto people’s radars. We have seen a large increase in trading volumes on eToro since the start of 2020 from both new and existing users.”
“We started eToro with the mission of opening up global financial markets so everyone could invest in a simple and transparent way. 13 million is a fantastic milestone, but we have more to do to ensure everyone feels they have the knowledge and confidence to invest and grow their wealth,” Assia continued.
Furthermore, Assia said that eToro is now focusing on evolving its product offering in order to keep up with changing customer demands, and that the company remains on the lookout for further acquisitions, following its two acquisitions last year – Firmo and Delta.
