Getting started with eToro in the US.

Check your location first

Crypto trading is unavailable in Nevada, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. The platform is unavailable in American Samoa and Guam. New York crypto access launched in April 2026; its available assets may differ.

Use eToro’s US site and the identity information for your actual residence. Do not use a VPN or a different address to bypass eligibility rules.

Open and secure the account

Navigate directly to the official US site. Read the account agreement, complete the required identity checks and enable the strongest account security the platform supports. Store recovery information separately from the password.

• Use a unique password.
• Check the login and support domains.
• Review account protection and recovery options.
• Confirm the asset and product available to your account.

Review the trade before confirming

The US fee page lists a 1% commission on each crypto purchase and each sale. Transfers and other services can incur additional charges. UK fees must be checked separately.

Check whether the asset can be transferred to a self-custody wallet and whether the exact account product allows that transfer. US XRP buying is not conclusively verified in our source check, so eToro is not in the XRP buying shortlist.

Keep records from the first purchase

Save execution confirmations, fees, deposits, withdrawals and the full account statement. Keep these alongside acquisition records from any wallet or account you transfer in from.
