Latest NewsPublishedMay 13, 2026EToro posted its strongest quarter as a public company, with net income up 37% to $82 million, but crypto trade volumes fell 32% in April.
EToro reported first-quarter net income of $82 million, up 37% from a year earlier, as a surge in commodities trading offset weaker crypto activity.
Net income rose 37% year-over-year to $82 million, compared to $60 million in Q1 2025, the company announced Tuesday. Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) climbed 35% to $109 million, from $80 million a year earlier, while net contribution grew 19% to $258 million.
The upbeat results were driven largely by commodities trading, which accounted for roughly 60% of trading commissions in the quarter, with volumes up nearly fourfold year-over-year. The company also expanded its equities offering, adding Japanese stocks to bring its exchange coverage to 26 and activated its BitLicense to launch crypto trading in New York.

Crypto trading volumes tumble
Despite the surge in commodities trading, crypto volumes took a hit. April data released alongside the earnings showed crypto trade volumes fell 32% year-over-year to two million trades, while the invested amount per trade dropped 22% to $207.
On the product side, eToro launched an AI-powered Agent Portfolios feature and deepened its partnership with xAI, embedding Grok 4.2-powered market sentiment into Tori, its AI investing agent.

The company also closed its acquisition of Zengo, a self-custodial crypto wallet provider, on April 30, a move CEO Yoni Assia said advances eToro’s strategy of bridging traditional finance with on-chain infrastructure.
Assets under administration climbed further to $18.7 billion in April, up 19% year-over-year, while total money transfers for the month hit $1.4 billion, up 53%.
