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 rose, but net income didnt follow
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.
Product expansion of eToro
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.
What investors and users should take away?
- Engagement is rising. The increase in funded accounts and AUA shows eToro is attracting deposits and activity — a key sign for platform businesses where revenue depends on user trading.
- Revenue mix matters. Heavy reliance on crypto means contribution can climb quickly in active markets, but it also creates variability and regulatory scrutiny risk.
- Earnings are under pressure from investments and IPO costs. One-off expenses and strategic spending explain much of the flat GAAP net income; adjusted profitability metrics tell a stronger story.
Bottom line
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.
