For eToro users residing in the USA, the available trading options include stocks, cryptocurrencies, and ETFs. However, due to regulatory restrictions, other instrument classes such as currencies (forex), commodities, and indices are not accessible for trading on the platform.

Introduction

eToro has become a prominent trading brand in the USA, gaining visibility through various channels including high-profile events like Super Bowl LVI. A common query among potential and current users is about the range of products available for trading on the platform.

Being a US resident and having an investment account with this broker, I can provide firsthand insights into this matter.

So. What Products are Available?

Accessing eToro through both the web platform and the app on my iPhone 12, I've navigated to the Discover page where the following products are prominently listed:

• Stocks
• Crypto
• ETFs

These represent the main asset classes or market types available to eToro USA traders. However, it's important to note the absence of indices, commodities, and currencies. After inquiring with the support team, I learned that these are not offered due to specific financial regulations in the US.

Additional Products

Beyond these primary offerings, they also feature two additional and unique products worth mentioning:

1. The first is CopyTrader. As the name suggests, the eToro copy trading system allows users to mirror the trading activities of experienced investors.
2. The second is Smart Portfolios, which are expertly curated collections of assets or top-performing traders on the platform.

These offerings enhance the diversity of investment opportunities on this broker, catering to a range of investor preferences and strategies.
