eToro's platform now offers stocks alongside cryptocurrencies. As of mid-June, traders can hold cryptos, stocks, exchange-traded funds, and thousands of other assets in one account. The brokerage previously allowed stock trading only through contracts for difference. Clients can now purchase the actual underlying shares.

Stock purchases carry no management fees and no ticket fees. United Kingdom investors will see the stamp duty on stock trades waived through an introductory period. The spread on stock trades is 0.09 percent per side. Traders can access stocks across European, Asian, and American markets.

Traders can still use leverage on stocks and open short positions through CFD trading. eToro has operated since 2007 and counts over 10 million registered users. The platform has built a following among cryptocurrency traders and expanded into new asset classes. Stocks represent the latest phase of this expansion.

For less experienced traders, eToro offers CopyTrader and CopyFund, which let users replicate the trades of more successful investors. A virtual portfolio lets people practice trading without real money. The platform includes educational materials—guides and instructional videos.

The company describes its mission this way: "It empowers people to invest by giving them access to the assets they want. From cryptos to shares, eToro makes buying straightforward. By joining the platform, new clients may access the shared knowledge of the community."

All trading involves risk. Your capital is at risk. Only risk capital you're prepared to lose. The information above is not investment advice.
