The move is part of eToros push to widen its footprint in the U.S. market and to meet retail demand and match offerings from larger players like Coinbase (COIN) and Robinhood (HOOD).
The announcement comes just weeks after eToro made its public debut on Nasdaq, marking the first U.S. crypto firm to go public after months of trade tensions and shaky markets. Stablecoin issuer Circle, who has long had plans to go public, filed for its initial public offering on Tuesday.
Despite the turbulent macro backdrop, eToros IPO was well-received. The company raised around $310 million, surpassing expectations and signaling investor interest in the combined stock and crypto trading platform model.
Shares are modestly lower on Wednesday at $64.15, but remain nicely above the IPO price of $52.
