February saw eToro investors step up their trading pace, driving an 81% jump in trading activity across capital markets even as cryptocurrency engagement slowed. The fintech firm’s latest monthly figures reveal a mixed picture of investor priorities but an overall strong momentum in platform growth.

Trading Rises, Average Investment Shrinks

eToro, listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker ETOR, reported $17.6 billion in assets under administration (AUA), a 13% rise from a year earlier. The platform counted 3.9 million funded accounts, marking a 10% year-over-year increase.

The number of trades in capital markets reached 70.2 million, up sharply from 38.8 million in February 2025. Despite the volume surge, the average invested amount per trade dropped by 35% to $180.

The most recent developments that could be feeding into February’s metrics are eToro’s product expansion and brand‑building push, especially in Europe and mainstream sports. These moves likely support higher funded accounts, money transfers and capital markets activity.

In mid‑January 2026, eToro added 250 UCITS ETFs, with plans for “hundreds more” aimed mainly at European users. This significantly broadens low‑cost, diversified options and can encourage more deposits and trading in traditional markets, which fits with the sharp rise in capital markets trades and money transfers.

Crypto Activity Slows Down

While equity and commodities trading accelerated, crypto volumes took a step back. Cryptocurrency trades fell 36% year-over-year to 3.3 million, down from 5.1 million a year earlier. The average invested amount per crypto trade declined slightly by 4% to $254.

The moderation in crypto activity may reflect reduced volatility in major tokens or a broader pivot toward traditional markets as investors recalibrate strategies following the early-year crypto rally.

Interest-earning assets grew 8% from last year to $6.9 billion, while total money transfers surged 61% to $1.3 billion. The increase in transfers hints at greater client engagement and liquidity movement across eToro’s investment ecosystem.

In February 2026 the company reported record Q4 2025 results, including higher net contribution and profit, and highlighted strong January KPIs such as a 17% year‑over‑year increase in interest‑earning assets and a 68% jump in total money transfers.
