What the public record shows.
The honest way to answer “is this provider still available” is to point at what an authority or the firm itself has actually published — not to guess. For eToro, the case runs through Cyprus: an EU subsidiary, permitted by the Cypriot competent authority, passporting outward across the single market.
eToro announced on 19 February 2025 that its EU subsidiary eToro (Europe) Ltd (Limassol, Cyprus; Cyprus Company No. HE 200585) had been granted a permit by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) to provide crypto services across the EU under MiCA. The same entity is authorised and regulated by CySEC as an investment firm under licence number 109/10 — the identifier to match when you check the register.
A MiCA CASP authorisation can be passported across the EU/EEA. eToro described the CySEC permit as allowing the company, subject to submitting the relevant notification to all member states, to provide crypto services across the EU — the standard freedom-of-services route by which one national authorisation reaches the whole single market.
The authoritative, EU-wide record is the ESMA register of authorised CASPs, cross-checked against CySEC’s own published records — the confirmation that an authorisation is recorded by a competent authority, not only asserted in a press release. eToro separately publishes its crypto-service disclaimers and per-country risk warnings, which are the firm’s own statement of what it offers where.
eToro announced its CySEC MiCA permit for eToro (Europe) Ltd on 19 February 2025, describing it as enabling crypto services across the EU subject to member-state notification. A MiCA authorisation is passportable across the EU/EEA. Always confirm the current, authoritative entry on the ESMA register.
So can you still use it — and what could still change?
Holding an authorisation is the thing that lets a provider keep serving EU clients after the deadline. But “the firm is authorised” is not the same as “every product is available to you, everywhere, unchanged.” Three things still vary even for an authorised provider.
| What can still vary | Why |
|---|---|
| Which assets are offered | Stablecoins (e-money tokens) are governed by their own MiCA rules; individual tokens can be added or delisted independently of the provider’s overall authorisation. eToro publishes its own asset listings and any changes. |
| Which country / entity serves you | EU users are served by the authorised EU entity, eToro (Europe) Ltd. In some markets specific activities are arranged through local partners (for example eToro publishes distinct arrangements for Germany); your terms and available features can change accordingly. |
| Which specific services | A MiCA authorisation covers a defined set of crypto-asset services. Anything outside that set — or outside MiCA, such as certain staking or earn products — follows its own rules and disclaimers. |
This is general information, not legal, financial, or investment advice, and not a determination of any firm’s authorisation status. For your situation, read the provider’s own current service notices and confirm the authorised entity on the ESMA register.
How to verify any provider’s status yourself.
The same three-step check works for any exchange or wallet, not just eToro — and it is the only reliable way to answer “is X still available” for your own account.
Look up the provider’s legal entity on ESMA’s register of authorised CASPs (and the relevant national competent authority’s register, here Cyprus’ CySEC). If the entity that serves you is listed, that is the authoritative confirmation.
A brand can operate several legal entities (eToro alone runs separate UK, Australian, Seychelles and Abu Dhabi companies). Confirm the specific entity named in your account terms — for eToro’s EU users, eToro (Europe) Ltd (Cyprus Company No. HE 200585, CySEC licence 109/10) — is the one that holds the authorisation.
Authorised providers publish listing, delisting, and country-availability notices, plus per-market risk warnings. These tell you what changes for your assets and country, which the register alone does not.
If you market a crypto service into the EU, this cuts the other way.
The flip side of users asking “is this provider authorised” is that every authorised provider’s marketing is now held to the MiCA standard. Under Article 88, every customer-facing message must be clear, fair, and not misleading — and claims about your own authorisation, available markets, or supported assets are exactly the kind of statement that has to be accurate.

This page is general, educational information for EU users and marketing teams, not legal, financial, or investment advice, and not a determination of any firm’s authorisation status or any authority’s intentions. The facts stated — eToro’s 19 February 2025 announcement of a CySEC MiCA permit for eToro (Europe) Ltd, the entity’s CySEC investment-firm licence 109/10 and Cyprus Company No. HE 200585, and MiCA passporting — are drawn from a public announcement and registers at a point in time and can change. There is no “guaranteed” availability; confirm the current entry on the ESMA register of authorised CASPs, read the provider’s own service notices and risk warnings, and consult qualified counsel for your situation.
