eToro versus Capital.com

Cryptocurrency traders get 477 assets at UK-Belarusian broker Capital.com, making it an industry-leading broker in this sector. With 6,100+ overall assets, traders get a well-balanced asset selection, a cutting-edge, web-based trading platform with quality tools and actionable trading ideas, and its AI-assisted trade analysis and educational app, Investmate. Capital.com also supports algorithmic trading via MT4 and includes the TradingView community.

eToro counters with a market-leading trading community numbering 25M+ traders, benefiting from the social trading environment enabled by CopyTrader, CopyPortfolios, and in-house managed thematic investment portfolios. Beginners benefit from eToro Academy, a quality educational platform. eToro also became a leading cryptocurrency broker, and it makes ongoing investments in the sector.

Forex and cryptocurrency traders get an outstanding choice of trading instruments of 138 and 477, respectively, at Capital.com. With an asset selection exceeding 6,100+, Capital.com caters to most trading requirements. eToro features a smaller asset selection, but its balance suffices for beginners, intermediaries, and those interested in trading names popular on social media.

Both brokers offer Forex traders a commission-free cost structure, but minimum costs at Capital.com are $6.00 per 1 standard lot versus $10.00 at eToro. Capital.com extends its commission-free pricing environment to equity CFDs, which cost 0.09% of the total deal value at eToro. Investors who buy unleveraged stocks at eToro do so commission-free.
