Abstract:eToro grew net contribution by 26% year-over-year to $210 million according to its first quarterly report.
eToro grew net contribution by 26% year-over-year to $210 million according to its first quarterly report.
Several top-line and engagement metrics looked strong in the quarter. Funded accounts — users with deposited funds who can trade — climbed 14% year-over-year to 3.63 million, reflecting an addition of about 460,000 funded accounts since the prior year. eToro also ended June with $1.2 billion in cash and short-term investments, giving it balance-sheet flexibility as it scales.
Net contribution is a metric that captures revenue less the direct cost of cryptoassets and margin funding, which rose 26% largely because trading activity and crypto volumes increased. Cryptocurrencies remain the dominant revenue driver for eToro.
However, GAAP net income was $30.2 million in Q2 (essentially flat versus $30.6 million a year earlier). Management noted that the quarter included IPO-related and other costs (reported at roughly $15 million), and the company also absorbed higher operating investments tied to product launches and international expansion.
eToro continued to push new products and market initiatives. Highlights included rolling out 24/5 trading for U.S. equities, launching AI-driven “Alpha Portfolios”, broadening U.S. crypto listings to 100+ assets, and partnering with Franklin Templeton on long-term portfolios. The firm also strengthened its presence in Asia with a new Singapore hub and broadened savings and investment options in France.
Although eToro has been growing rapidly recently, the returns on these investments have not yet been fully reflected in the net profit under US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). For more updates, let's wait and see.
