Only a few years ago, in 2018, eToro’s valuation was $800 million. A couple of years later, in 2020, after an undisclosed sale of shares to a US company, eToro more than tripled its valuation to $2.5 billion. In 2021, eToro announced its plans to go public through a SPAC deal that would’ve increased its valuation to $10.4 billion. However, the IPO was delayed to 2022, and the valuation was decreased to $8.8 billion due to market conditions. In the end, the merger didn’t happen at all, so the company’s valuation dropped to $6 billion after a private eToro funding round in which the platform raised $1 billion.

63% of the commissions charged by eToro in the first half of 2021 were from crypto trading.
