[Crypto Briefing](https://cryptobriefing.com/etoro-q3-earnings-250m-buyback/) published the results on November 10. The Nasdaq-listed platform, which trades as ETOR, combines stock and crypto brokerage for retail investors.\n\n## eToro's Q3 Profit Drop and Buyback\n\nNet contribution, eToro's main measure of revenue after certain costs, came in at $186 million, down 13% from $215 million in the same quarter last year. Funded accounts climbed 18% year-over-year to 4.39 million, and assets under administration stood at $20.8 billion. Net contribution from capital markets rose 21% year-over-year, partly offsetting the crypto slowdown.\n\nCFO Meron Shani pointed to a sequential recovery in crypto trading activity, a quarter-over-quarter comparison rather than a year-over-year one. Shani also said capital markets growth helped cushion the crypto decline. CEO Yoni Assia emphasized the launch of a new AI-driven eToro app as part of the company's push on user experience.\n\nOn November 4, eToro announced its acquisition of LB Finanzas, an Argentine fintech, as part of efforts to widen its market footprint and add to its service offerings.

The same records show assets under administration of $20.1 billion in May 2026, up 18% year-over-year, and total funding of $1.2 billion, including a $250 million post-IPO debt round in July 2025.\n\n## eToro's Deals and Launches Before Q3\n\nOn October 19, eToro launched eToro Edge, a professional intelligent terminal for active desktop trading that integrates charts, watchlists, screeners, news, portfolio and order tickets onto a single canvas, according to Fxnewsgroup.

On November 2, Seeking Alpha noted that eToro's second-quarter net trading contribution rose 25% to $142 million and funded accounts grew 18% to 4.28 million.\n\n## eToro's LB Finanzas Closing Conditions\n\nThe LB Finanzas acquisition remains subject to customary closing conditions, Stock Titan reported. eToro's acquisition of TradeZero for up to $231 million is expected to close in the first half of 2027, according to Insider Trading & Hedge Fund Data.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
