eToro Europe Ltd. has received approval to offer cryptoasset services in Germany under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation.
The company announced that all cryptoasset trading for German clients will be conducted directly through eToro EU, ending the use of DLT Finance for trading services on the platform.
Clients will need to accept revised Terms and Conditions to continue trading. A notification will appear upon login to confirm acceptance.

Those who do not accept will lose access to trading services, but their existing holdings will remain in custody with Tangany GmbH. Assets may also be withdrawn to another custodian, subject to Tangany’s procedures.
eToro EU Keeps Custody, May Expand
The company said custody arrangements remain unchanged at this stage, though eToro EU may provide custody in the future. Any such change will be announced in advance.

eToro also noted that while it is MiCA-authorized, it is not classified as a MiCA trading platform where trades occur directly between buyers and sellers. Instead, eToro acts as the counterparty, and transactions may take place outside regulated venues.
eToro Adds Cryptoassets, New Deposits, EU Compliance
eToro recently expanded its cryptoasset offering by adding five new tokens: LayerZero, ZKsync, Pyth, EigenLayer, and Swell. The additions include Layer-2 and DeFi solutions, with EigenLayer and Swell classified as experimental and subject to trading limits.
These assets are not available to users in the U.S., UAE, Germany, or Australia. The platform continues to provide access to over 100 cryptoassets while operating under MiCA and MiFID regulations to maintain compliance and investor protection.
In addition, eToro has introduced new deposit options for European users, allowing funding via credit card or bank transfer in eight local currencies. The platform has also reduced foreign exchange fees.
In the UK, eToro launched a DIY ISA alongside its existing managed ISA, giving clients access to over 1,000 assets for self-directed or professionally managed investing. Separately, eToro Group has filed for a US IPO with the SEC, following an earlier SPAC merger attempt in 2021 that was later abandoned.
