In a major move set to redefine digital investing in the UAE, eToro, one of the world’s leading trading and investment platforms, has officially enabled crypto deposits for its UAE users. This new feature empowers investors to transfer a wide range of crypto assets—including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, USDC, Chainlink, Aave, Uniswap, Polygon, and Fetch.ai—directly from external exchanges, brokers, or blockchain wallets into their eToro accounts. Once deposited, users can convert their crypto holdings into US dollars, unlocking a new level of flexibility for managing digital and traditional investment portfolios alike.
What makes this offering even more compelling is the innovative rewards program linked to it. UAE users who opt to convert their crypto deposits to USD are entitled to receive 1% back in UAE-listed stocks, directly added to their trading portfolios. This feature provides an exciting opportunity for retail and individual investors to diversify their holdings and gain exposure to the local stock market while engaging with the global crypto economy. Eligible participants can redeem up to $1,000 per month during the promotional period from November 24, 2025, to March 31, 2026, further incentivising smart investment strategies and active market participation.
The launch reflects eToro’s commitment to catering to evolving investor needs in the UAE, where younger and tech-savvy populations increasingly seek seamless ways to bridge traditional markets with digital assets. By linking crypto holdings to local stock rewards, eToro is not only enhancing financial flexibility but also encouraging greater confidence in domestic market opportunities.
According to Doron Rosenblum, EVP of Business Solutions at eToro, this initiative “gives investors in the UAE greater flexibility in how they manage their digital assets,” while George Naddaf, Managing Director of eToro MENA, highlighted that it is “one of the few platforms in the UAE and globally to enable such integration between crypto and local stocks.”
Licensed and regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Abu Dhabi Global Market, eToro continues to innovate and provide robust, secure, and diversified investment opportunities, positioning UAE investors at the forefront of the rapidly evolving intersection between digital finance and traditional markets.
