Social trading network eToro has added support for IOTA on its platform. It is the twelfth cryptocurrency on the eToro platform. IOTA joins other digital assets on the eToro platform, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, XRP, Litecoin, Ethereum Classic, Dash, Stellar, EOS, ADA and NEO.
The Israel-based social trading network said that it has added support for IOTA as investors look to diversify their crypto portfolios and explore new opportunities through altcoins. In addition to allowing clients to purchase IOTA, eToro will also be adding the cryptocurrency to its Crypto CopyFund, which uses contracts for difference (CFD) to enable investors to diversify across all available cryptocurrencies (weighted by market cap) with just one click.
