“Automatically rebalanced investment strategy”
Yoni Assia, Co-founder and CEO of eToro, said:
“We have been seeing an increasing number of our clients looking for a simpler way to access investments in cryptocurrencies – with a view to building a portfolio in the future.
“They were asking how to allocate tier investments between the two largest cryptocurrencies that are traded on eToro, so we have launched an automatically rebalanced investment strategy to simplify their investments into this new exciting asset class.”
There are plans to add further cryptocurrencies, such as Ripple and Dash, to the platform.
Users are also able to trade in individual cryptocurrencies, and can use the platform to emulate the trading strategies of successful cryptocurrency experts such as Jay Smith (who has achieved a mighty 171% return over the last 12 months).
The minimum investment is $5000.
