How to Withdraw Cryptocurrency from eToro

The process of withdrawing cryptocurrencies from the eToro platform is a bit different from withdrawing funds, and it involves using the eToro Money crypto wallet.

First, since you can only withdraw cryptocurrencies currently supported by the wallet, you're limited to a relatively small number compared to those available for trading on the platform.

At time of writing, the cryptocurrencies you could withdraw included:^[3]

• Bitcoin
  
• Bitcoin Cash
  
• Ethereum
  
• Litecoin
  
• Stellar
  
• Tron (U.S. only)

For now, other cryptocurrencies aren't able to be withdrawn, though we anticipate this list to grow in the future.

Suppose you're interested in withdrawing one of the listed cryptocurrencies. In that case, you'll first need to download the eToro Money cryptocurrency wallet, a separate mobile app available for iOS and Android devices.

You'll use the same login credentials as your primary eToro account when you sign in.

In the eToro Money app, look for the relevant trade under the Portfolio tab and find the Edit Trade button. This window will let you transfer cryptocurrencies to your crypto wallet.

Transferring cryptocurrencies off of the eToro trading platform only works one way, meaning you won't be able to transfer your coins back in once you complete the transaction.

If your cryptocurrencies are held as part of CopyTrader or Smart Portfolio positions, you won't be able to transfer them off the eToro trading platform.

Bottom Line

The process for withdrawing funds from eToro is quite simple and can be completed either on the desktop site or a mobile device via their app.

Withdrawals of deposited funds are deposited back into the accounts they originated from, while profits are typically sent by ACH transfer to the user's linked bank account.

When it comes to withdrawing cryptocurrency, your options are limited to a set number of coins, and you must initially transfer them to the eToro Money wallet, a separate app.

Crypto withdrawals on eToro are one-way, and you can't undo them. If the ability to withdraw cryptocurrency is a major concern for you as a trader, you may want to consider one of eToro's competitors.
