eToro officially takes its IPO plans public
CTECH, 12.02.2025
After months of rumors and speculation, the Israeli fintech company eToro has officially announced that it has filed a confidential prospectus for an IPO on Wall Street. While eToro has not disclosed specific figures related to the offering, estimates suggest it will seek a valuation of at least $5 billion. The company stated that it will provide further details only after the prospectus is approved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which previously delayed its IPO and ultimately led to its cancellation.
Retail trading platform eToro files for US IPO and chases $5bn valuation
FT, 16.01.2025
Retail trading platform eToro has made confidential filings to US regulators in a significant step towards an initial public offering in New York this year that could value the business at more than $5bn.
Chief executive and founder Yoni Assia told the Financial Times last year that a US listing would give the company access to a broader range of investors than a presence on the UK market.
The company, founded in 2007, allows customers to trade assets such as stocks and cryptocurrencies. It managed $11.3bn of customer assets across 3mn accounts, the FT reported last March.

TechCrunch, 16.01.2025
Trading platform eToro has filed confidentially for a U.S. IPO that could value the company at over $5 billion, the Financial Times reported on Thursday.
Israel-based eToro, which competes with the likes of Robinhood, told TechCrunch it is “not commenting on IPO rumors.”
The fintech had initially announced plans to go public via a SPAC at a $10.4 billion valuation in 2021 before scrapping those plans in 2022. In March 2023, it secured $250 million in funding at a $3.5 billion valuation. Founded in 2007, eToro gives users a way to trade assets such as stocks, ETFs, and crypto.
