eToro
announced today (Tuesday) it will add all securities listed on the Hong Kong
Stock Exchange (HKEX) to its platform in a phased rollout, expanding investor
access to Chinese and Asian markets.
eToro Expands Platform
with Addition of All HKEX-Listed Securities
The
addition will include all HKEX-listed stocks and exchange-traded products
(ETPs), including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and leveraged and inverse
products. Users will also benefit from real-time pricing data provided directly
by HKEX.
“By
expanding our offering to include more companies listed on HKEX – one of the
world’s top ten stock exchanges by market capitalization – we are further
strengthening our commitment to making global markets accessible to
everyone,” said Yossi Brandes, VP of Execution Services at eToro.
This
expansion follows eToro’s February addition
of Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) stocks to its platform, continuing
the company’s strategy of broadening market access for its global user base.
The move
aligns with investor sentiment captured in eToro’s latest quarterly Retail
Investor Beat survey, which found that over 22% of global investors believe
China will generate the strongest returns over the next five years. The survey
polled 10,000 retail investors across 12 countries in February and March 2025.
Gateway to Chinese Markets
“This
collaboration will enhance retail investors’ access to the Hong Kong market and
empower their decision-making with high-quality market data,” said Winnie
Sin, Head of Data Business, Platform & Market Structure Development at
HKEX.
“With
our unique role as the superconnector between Mainland China and the rest of
the world, we are dedicated to enhancing capital market channels, products, and
partnerships.”
HKEX is
strategically positioned as a gateway to Chinese markets, offering
international investors regulated access to companies in the world’s
second-largest economy.
Moreover,
the company launched a new offering for the UK and European users, allowing to
earn additional money by
lending their stocks.
eToro,
founded in 2007, now serves over 40 million registered users in 75 countries. It
has paused its preparations for an upcoming public listing on Nasdaq and it currently
“evaluates market conditions.”
