etoro takes your security and privacy seriously and prioritizes protecting your funds and assets. If you are a US resident, your cash holdings are FDIC insured for up to $250,000 and held in an FDIC-insured custodial account.
Any US stocks held in your etoro account are covered by SIPC (Securities Investor Protection Corporation) insurance. Our clearing firm, Apex Clearing Corporation, has purchased an additional insurance policy to supplement SIPC protection. This additional insurance policy becomes available to customers in the event that SIPC limits are exhausted. This additional insurance provides protection for securities and cash up to $150 million, subject to sub-limits for any one customer of $37.5 million for securities and $900,000 for cash.
Your crypto assets are stored securely in your personal etoro Money crypto wallet, which can be accessed anytime through the etoro Money app.
Please note, your stocks and crypto are not insured against losses in the market. All trading involves risk.
