Yoni Assia, Co-Founder and CEO of eToro, appeared on the
“ThinkingCrypto” YouTube channel to discuss the company’s Nasdaq listing,
tokenization plans, and the future of AI in investing.

From Founding to Public Debut

Assia reflected on eToro’s journey from its 2007 founding to
its public debut following a record year in 2024. “We’ve always envisioned
opening global capital markets to everyone in a simple, transparent way,” he
said, highlighting the growing US support for crypto and digital assets as a
key driver of the IPO.

Tokenization and Global Access

On tokenization, Assia emphasized eToro’s early work with
colored coins and the ongoing effort to move real-world assets on-chain. He
noted that tokenized stocks, fractional shares, and 24/7 trading could
democratize access for investors globally, particularly in regions with limited
financial services.

AI’s Role in Retail Investing

The CEO also discussed AI’s growing role in retail
investing. eToro has launched AI-powered tools, including chat-based analyst
insights and APIs for professional investors, enabling automated portfolio
management and strategy development.

“significantly more successful” while interacting seamlessly with tokenized
assets.

Crypto Expansion and Regulatory Considerations

Assia further highlighted eToro’s expansion of crypto
offerings in the US, now supporting over 100 assets, and the potential impact
of upcoming regulatory frameworks like the Clarity Act and the Genius Act. He
also warned about the risks of leveraged crypto investments, advocating for
diversification across stocks, crypto, and smart portfolios.

“When too many people jump on basically leveraged crypto
ships, my concern is that in a deleveraging scenario, leverage comes out very
fast,” Assia said. He added that he prefers simply “owning my own Bitcoin,”
emphasizing caution amid volatile markets.

Vision for the Future

Concluding, Assia outlined a vision where blockchain,
tokenization, and AI transform financial services, enabling global access, 24/7
trading, and more efficient capital formation.
