New Yorkers can access crypto within eToro's multi-asset platform supported by educational tools and a social investing community that empowers users to participate in digital markets with confidence. A full list of cryptoassets available for trading in New York can be viewed here.

The launch underscores eToro's long-standing commitment to operating with the highest standards of compliance while expanding responsible access to the next generation of financial assets.
As interest in cryptoassets continues to grow, recent research from eToro's Retail Investor Beat shows that 36% of American retail investors currently hold cryptoassets, with an additional 17% planning to increase their exposure.* By opening access to more than 9 million New Yorkers, eToro is expanding participation in digital finance while reinforcing its mission to open the global markets so that everyone can trade and invest in a simple and transparent way.
