eToro has added USD Coin, a fiat-backed stablecoin. USDC is created by Circle and Coinbase through the Centre Consortium. Each token is designed to maintain a 1:1 peg with the U.S. dollar, with reserves held by the issuer.
This addition follows eToro’s Nasdaq listing and its other initiatives in the crypto space.
USDC operates across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum. It allows fast and low-cost transfers without the limitations of banking hours or international fees.
eToro users can now buy and sell USDC on the platform. They can also convert USDC to fiat and, where available, withdraw it to the eToro Money Crypto Wallet.
