EToro Adds DOGE, XRP, SHIB and 9 Others in U.S. Crypto Push After Nasdaq Debut

Trading platform eToro (ETOR) has expanded its crypto offerings in the U.S., adding 12 new digital assets including Dogecoin DOGE, Cardano ADA and XRP XRP, the company said Wednesday.

The additions bring the total number of cryptocurrencies available to U.S. users to 15. The new tokens also include Aave AAVE, Chainlink LINK, Compound COMP, Ethereum Classic ETC, Litecoin LTC, Uniswap UNI, Stellar XLM, Shiba Inu SHIB, and Yearn Finance YFI. Previously, U.S.-based users could only trade Bitcoin BTC, Bitcoin Cash BCH and Ethereum ETH on the platform.

The move is part of eToro’s push to widen its footprint in the U.S. market and to meet retail demand and match offerings from larger players like Coinbase (COIN) and Robinhood (HOOD).

The announcement comes just weeks after eToro made its public debut on Nasdaq, marking the first U.S. crypto firm to go public after months of trade tensions and shaky markets. Stablecoin issuer Circle, who has long had plans to go public, filed for its initial public offering on Tuesday.

Despite the turbulent macro backdrop, eToro’s IPO was well-received. The company raised around $310 million, surpassing expectations and signaling investor interest in the combined stock and crypto trading platform model.

Shares are modestly lower on Wednesday at $64.15, but remain nicely above the IPO price of $52.
