Why can I only trade whole shares on some stocks and ETFs?

Last updated: 12 August 2026

On etoro, we offer the option to invest in both full and fractional shares on most stocks and ETFs.

As we are expanding the range of assets you can invest in, many of the newly added stocks and ETFs can be traded in whole shares only. If you are not a Popular Investor, they are available to you.

To invest in these assets:

  • choose the number of whole shares you’d like to buy or sell, not a USD amount
  • place market orders when markets are open (other order types are not supported)

When investing in these assets:

Some platform features, such as adding these assets to watchlists, may not be available initially.

We're continuing to expand our asset universe with more stocks from existing exchanges and new markets later in 2025.
