eToro is making it easier to diversify your investments. The social trading platform has announced users can now directly invest in shares. This will make it possible to hold shares, cryptocurrencies, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and other financial assets all in the same portfolio.
Previously, eToro allowed investing in shares via contracts of difference (CFD). Unlike CFD investments though, buying shares essentially gives users the option to own the actual asset.
eToro enables people to invest in the assets they want to own, from newly available assets such as cryptocurrencies, to more traditional options like shares, said CEO and founder Yoni Assia. We want investors to be able to hold all these assets in a single portfolio.
Aside from the updated portfolio service, eToro said it will cover any stamp duty costs for UK users buying shares from its platform. For context, British tax law stipulates share purchases be taxed with additional 0.5-percent stamp duty.
Users buying shares will also be exempt from ticket and management fees. That being said, UK customers can still expect to be charged the platforms standard fees for trading and investing, which amount to about 0.09 percent per side, according to eToro.
It is worth pointing out the company reserves the right to withdraw its practice of absorbing stamp duty in the future, so you might want to take advantage of this deal now.
eToro has been getting busy over the past several months.
Shortly after securing $100 million in private funding from SBI Group, Korea Investment Partners and The World-Wide Investment Company Limited at a valuation of $800 million, the company announced plans to open a cryptocurrency-only exchange desk and expand its operation to the US later this year.
In addition to the new exchange desk, the company said it will also be rolling out its own cryptocurrency mobile wallet.

Who should attend
java,vbscript,.netIn November last year, The Washington Post reported the case of 19-year-old Trevor Harden, who had purchased 40,000 pills of fentanyl off the dark web, and had them shipped over to Chamberlain, South Dakota. He was caught when the postal inspectors tipped off the DEA. Warden was arrested, and he pleaded guilty for attempting to possess, and intending to distribute fentanyl, a highly addictive pain killer that’s usually only available with a prescription.
Discussing the Harden case, A DEA spokesman told The Washington Post that most opioids are sold in small packages from China – ordered over the internet and mailed over to the US.
In the recently concluded sting, the execution of only 70 search warrants in the operation led to the capture of large quantities of illegal narcotics. Among the seized drugs were more than 300 bottles of liquid synthetic opioids, over 100,000 tramadol pills, 100 grams of fentanyl, more than 24 kilograms of Xanax, and additional seizures of Oxycodone, MDMA, cocaine, LSD and marijuana. Psychedelic mushrooms were also found growing at a perpetrator/trader’s residence. “At this crucial time of unprecedented drug related deaths, one of the greatest threats we face is cyber drug trafficking,” said DEA Special Agent in Charge James J. Hunt.
