How does etoro crypto pricing work?

Your crypto position's price is based on the current market bid (sell) price, without any markup. etoro displays the crypto fee separately from the market pricing, making the cost of each trade clear.

A standardized 1% opening/closing spread is charged each time you buy or sell a cryptoasset on etoro. This fee is deducted from your available cash when buying, and from your position’s proceeds when selling. Crypto fees are shown as a separate line in your portfolio and account statement.

Example

Let’s say you open a crypto position with a value of $100. The position’s gain, loss, and value metrics will be based solely on the asset price, while the 1% fee will be charged separately at open and close. See the table below to understand how the crypto fee would apply to your $100 position in the event of a 20% gain or 20% loss.
