eToro Continuous Growth

During 2022, eToro earned a notable highlight after completing a $250 million funding round at a valuation of $3.5 billion. The brokerage abandoned plans to go public even after lowering its SPAC valuation to $8.8 billion from the prematurely planned $10.4 billion. These conditions were affected due to uncertainties and trade challenges of the SPAC.

In addition, social investment initiatives are reportedly in talks to raise around $1 billion in private funding rounds but are only worth $5 billion to $6 billion.

"Our 2023-2025 strategy is to expand our business in key markets by focusing on increasing profitability through increasing volatility and controlling costs," commented Yoni Assia, CEO and co-founder of eToro.
