Ready & Regulated: eToro Expands Crypto Services Across the EU

eToro has obtained regulatory approval from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) to offer crypto services across all European Union (EU) member states under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) framework.

As a multi-asset trading and investment platform, eToro has consistently supported regulatory measures aimed at consumer protection, financial stability, and market transparency. The company views MiCA as a significant milestone in establishing clearer regulatory guidelines for the cryptocurrency sector. It believes that these regulations will not only enhance investor confidence but also encourage wider adoption of cryptoassets within Europe.

According to eToro, the implementation of MiCA introduces uniform market rules, reducing uncertainty for both investors and service providers. The company is among the first to receive approval under this framework, underscoring its commitment to regulatory compliance and responsible crypto trading. By adhering to MiCA and the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID), eToro aims to provide investors with stronger protections, enhanced transparency, and improved regulatory oversight. These measures, it claims, will contribute to a safer and more reliable trading environment for users across the EU.

Established as a key player in the crypto industry, eToro initially ventured into digital assets in 2013 with the introduction of Bitcoin trading. Since then, it has expanded its offerings to include over 100 cryptoassets alongside stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), indices, commodities, and thematic Smart Portfolios. With a user base exceeding 38 million registered traders across 75 countries, Europe remains the companys largest market.

Beyond regulatory approvals, eToro has also achieved a significant operational milestone by securing the SOC 2 Type II Compliance Certification. Awarded by Grant Thornton, this certification represents the highest possible standard for operational excellence in crypto asset custody. The recognition further strengthens eToros position as a regulated leader in European crypto investing, reinforcing its commitment to compliance and investor protection.

With its MiCA authorisation, eToro seeks to broaden access to digital assets within a structured regulatory framework, ensuring that investors are fully informed of any associated risks. The company views this latest achievement as a step toward bridging the gap between traditional and digital finance, creating an environment where crypto can play an integral role in a well-diversified investment portfolio.
