Launched in 2007, eToro is best known as a social trading platform that caters to traders of all experience levels. It encourages users to seek advice from each other and offers the CopyTrader service, which lets users copy the trades of leading investors.
Beyond cryptocurrency, eToro provides access to other markets including stocks, commodities and foreign currency.
eToro lets you buy cryptocurrencies or trade contracts for difference (CFDs) – the two are very different.
We have more than 10 million users, so each and every coin that we introduce to the platform has very high demand – Guy Hirsch, eToro US managing director
eToro is available in many countries around the world, including Indonesia. However, it is not available to residents in certain regions.

Fees do not apply to non-leveraged buy positions on individual cryptocurrencies, but they do apply to leveraged buy positions, sell positions and all crypto pair positions, including overnight rollover fees.
All fees are current at the time of writing (February 2020), but are subject to change at any time.
eToro minimum and maximum first-time deposit limits may vary depending on your country and account verification status, while the conversion fees incurred will depend on the transfer method and the currency.
For a full breakdown of fees, please see eToro’s website.
A pip is a forex term that refers to the smallest measurable price change of a foreign currency trade.
The actual value of a pip, in dollar terms, will vary depending on the currencies involved, how prices change and the size of the “lot” – in this case how much you’re depositing or withdrawing.
For example, the US$1,000 AUD/USD pip value on eToro is 10 cents at the time of writing (February 2020).
So, a US$1,000 withdrawal would incur a conversion fee of US$10 (100 pips).
Wire deposits will take up to five business days, but many other deposit options can instantly put money in your account.
The time taken to transfer cryptocurrency in and out of eToro will vary depending on network activity, the cryptocurrency and other factors. Generally it should be no more than a few minutes though.
Withdrawal times depend on the method used and will be one to two days at the quickest or up to eight days for wire transfers at the upper end.
