The Robinhood vs eToro statistics comparison opens with one defining gap: Robinhood reported 27.4 million funded customers in Q1 2026, while eToro ended Q4 2025 with 3.81 million funded accounts, a roughly seven-to-one customer-count gap between two NASDAQ-listed brokers chasing different geographies. The contrast widens once revenue mix, ARPU, and regulatory footprints enter the picture: Robinhood monetizes US options and crypto flow, while eToro earns most commissions from crypto and equities across 75 countries. The paired data below spans funded accounts, revenue, ARPU, assets, geographic reach, and CFD loss-rate disclosures from Robinhood SEC filings and eToro’s F-1 prospectus.

Is Robinhood bigger than eToro by users?
Robinhood is roughly seven times larger than eToro by funded customer count. Robinhood reported 27.4 million funded customers at the end of Q1 2026, against eToro’s 3.81 million funded accounts at the end of Q4 2025. Robinhood counts customers one-per-individual; eToro counts funded accounts per legal entity.
Account totals don’t translate evenly into revenue, and the next section shows why.

The two firms measure top-line differently. Robinhood reports total net revenues combining transaction-based, net interest, and subscription lines. eToro reports net contribution, which strips out direct trading costs (spreads paid to liquidity providers, exchange fees, crypto wallet costs) from total commissions before any operating expenses.
Per-customer monetization tells a different story, and the gap widens further. The neobank-adjacent ARPU benchmark sits within the SoFi platform data we maintain on the lending and banking side.
ARPU and Per-Customer Monetization Divergence
- Robinhood ARPU progression: $164 in FY2024, 102% above FY2023.
- Q3 2025 ARPU reached $191, 82% above the prior-year period.
- Q4 2025 ARPU held at $191, 16% above the prior year.
- Q1 2026 ARPU was $157, 8% above the prior year.
- eToro 2024 commission income totaled $931 million across approximately 3.5 million funded accounts, a 45.6% yearly rise in commissions.
- eToro per-account net contribution at end-2024: about 225 per funded account (computed from $788 million net contribution divided by 3.5 million accounts).
- eToro per-account net contribution at end-2025: about 228 per funded account (computed from $868 million net contribution divided by 3.81 million accounts).
The two monetization paths diverge structurally. Robinhood’s ARPU more than doubled across the prior fiscal year, driven by options contract volume, crypto trading revenue, and net interest income on customer cash. eToro’s implied per-account net contribution sits in a much narrower band because CFD spread revenue and commodity commissions amortize across a smaller, geographically dispersed base.
By the numbers: Per Robinhood’s IR disclosures, ARPU climbed from $80 in FY2023 to $164 in FY2024, hit $191 in Q3 2025, and held at $191 through Q4 2025 before settling at $157 in Q1 2026. Across eToro’s F-1 and 2025 results, implied per-funded-account net contribution stayed near $225 in both fiscal years.
Across the broker-comparison work we track, funded-account counts and net-deposit flows tend to predict long-term scale better than stock-price swings, and the ARPU gap between these two listed brokers reinforces that pattern.
Geography is the structural reason these ARPU paths diverge.
- eToro’s funded-account distribution: 70% Europe and the UK, 16% Asia-Pacific, 10% Americas, 4% Middle East and Africa, across 75 countries.
- eToro operated from over 10 offices globally at the end of 2024 with 1,501 employees.
- Robinhood retail operations sit primarily in the US, with a UK retail launch in 2023 representing the only non-US retail footprint.
- About nine in ten of eToro’s funded accounts sit outside the Americas region, a footprint Robinhood does not address with retail services.
- Robinhood’s US-centric retail base contrasts with the roughly 10% Americas slice of eToro’s funded-account distribution, leaving the bulk of eToro’s customer base in jurisdictions where Robinhood has no retail license.
| Region | eToro funded-account share | Robinhood retail presence |
|---|---|---|
| US | included in Americas | Yes (primary market) |
| UK | included in Europe and UK | Yes (launched 2023) |
| EU (ex-UK) | included in Europe and UK | No retail |
| Asia-Pacific | 16% | No retail |
| Middle East and Africa | 4% | No retail |
| Latin America | included in Americas | No retail |

The geographic split is the single largest structural difference between the two brokers. Robinhood’s scale story is a US options-and-crypto story; eToro’s is a multi-asset, multi-currency story whose center of gravity sits in Europe and the UK. The wider cryptocurrency adoption by country data tracks the same regional weighting as eToro’s funded-account distribution mirrors at the platform level.
Why it matters: Per eToro’s F-1 disclosures, the 70/16/10/4 funded-account distribution puts the majority of its 3.81 million customers in jurisdictions where Robinhood has no retail license. The 2023 Robinhood UK retail launch addresses one of those four regions; it does not approach the multi-asset CFD product menu eToro offers across Europe.
Is eToro available in the US?
Yes, eToro USA LLC is registered with FinCEN and is a FINRA member, but the US offering is crypto-only: no equities, no CFDs, no options. US customers cannot access eToro’s full multi-asset menu that European and UK customers see. CFDs are prohibited for US retail clients across the entire industry, not just eToro, which is the primary structural reason for the truncated product menu.
Revenue mix is the operational consequence of that geographic split.
Revenue Mix: Options + Crypto + Net Interest vs CFD Spreads + Equities
- Robinhood Q4 2025 transaction-based revenue: $776 million total, 15.5% above the prior-year quarter, with options at $314 million and crypto at $221 million.
- Robinhood Q4 2025 options revenue surged 41% year over year to $314 million.
- Robinhood Q4 2025 crypto revenue declined 38% year-over-year to $221 million.
- Robinhood Q3 2025 transaction-based revenue split: $304 million options (up 50%), $268 million crypto (up over 300%), $86 million equities (up 132%).
- Robinhood Q3 2025 net interest revenue: $456 million, 66% above the prior-year period.
- eToro 2024 commission income breakdown: 38% ($353.8 million) cryptocurrency, 38% ($353.8 million) equities, 20% ($186.2 million) commodities, 4% ($37.2 million) currencies.
- eToro’s 2024 net profit reached $192 million, versus a near-breakeven of $15 million in 2023.
| Revenue line | Robinhood Q4 2025 | eToro FY2024 (commission income) |
|---|---|---|
| Options | $314 million | not offered to retail in same form |
| Crypto | $221 million | $353.8 million (38% of commissions) |
| Equities | included in “other transaction” | $353.8 million (38% of commissions) |
| Commodities | not a separate line | $186.2 million (20% of commissions) |
| Currencies / FX | not a separate line | $37.2 million (4% of commissions) |
| Net interest | $411 million (separate line) | not separately disclosed |
Source: Robinhood Investor Relations Q4 2025 results, eToro Form F-1 (SEC EDGAR CIK 1493318)
The takeaway: Per the FY2024 disclosures, eToro earned 76% of commissions from crypto plus equities split evenly at 38% each, while Robinhood Q4 2025 pulled $314 million of transaction revenue from options alone, a contract type with no eToro analog in most of the broker’s retail markets. Revenue mix is the cleanest signal of the two business models’ divergence.
How does eToro make money vs Robinhood?
eToro earns commissions across crypto (38%), equities (38%), commodities (20%), and currencies (4%), per the F-1. Robinhood Q4 2025 transaction revenue: options at $314 million (up 41%) and crypto at $221 million (declined 38% year over year), plus net interest income. eToro relies on CFD spreads outside the US; Robinhood does not offer CFDs. See crypto exchange market share data for venue context.
Behind both revenue mixes sit different asset bases.
Assets Under Custody and Assets Under Administration
- Robinhood’s total platform assets: $324 billion at end-Q4 2025, 68% above the prior year.
- Robinhood’s total platform assets reached $333 billion at the end of Q3 2025, 119% above the prior-year period.
- Robinhood FY2024 Assets Under Custody (AUC) of $193 billion, 88% above 2023 levels.
- Robinhood net deposits TTM: $68.1 billion at end-Q4 2025, a 35% growth rate relative to total platform assets.
- Robinhood FY2024 net deposits: $50.5 billion, a 49% growth rate relative to assets under custody at end-Q4 2023.
- Robinhood Q1 2026 net deposits: $17.7 billion, an annualized 22% growth rate, above the prior-year period.
- eToro Assets Under Administration of $20.8 billion, 76% above the prior-year period at end-Q3 2025.
- eToro Assets Under Administration grew by 11% year over year to $18.5 billion at the end of Q4 2025.
The asset-base gap is even wider than the revenue gap. Robinhood platform assets at the end of Q4 2025 sat roughly 17.5 times eToro’s AUA. The asset measurement difference matters because Robinhood reports total platform assets, including customer cash, while eToro reports assets under administration focused on equity positions and customer balances managed within its trading wrapper.
Robinhood Gold vs eToro Premium: Subscription and Membership Stats
- Robinhood Gold subscribers: 4.2 million at end-Q4 2025, a 58% year-over-year gain.
- roughly one in six Q4 2025 funded customers were Gold subscribers (4.2 million Gold subscribers divided by 27.0 million Q4 funded customers).
- eToro does not operate a comparable mandatory monthly subscription. Its Club tier system (Silver, Gold, Platinum, Platinum+, Diamond) is gated by realized equity in the account, not a flat subscription fee.
- eToro’s “Smart Portfolios” are managed thematic baskets without a separate per-month subscription cost.

Which is safer, Robinhood or eToro?
Both operate under tier-one financial regulators in the jurisdictions they serve, so “safer” depends on framework match, not on platform preference. eToro UK customers fall under FCA oversight (FRN 583263); eToro Europe customers fall under CySEC (109/10); US Robinhood customers fall under SEC and FINRA oversight. Asset protection scopes differ across jurisdictions, with separate compensation regimes covering each entity.

Worth noting: Per eToro’s mandatory FCA and CySEC retail-risk disclosure, 52% of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs with the platform. Robinhood does not offer CFDs in any jurisdiction; US retail clients cannot trade CFDs at any broker. The disclosure is structural, not a comparative quality signal.

No. eToro’s customer-facing disclosure states that 52% of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs with the platform, reflecting an FCA and CySEC mandate for any firm offering CFDs to retail clients. Robinhood does not offer CFDs anywhere it operates, and US retail investors cannot trade CFDs at any broker because the product is prohibited for US retail clients industry-wide.
Robinhood vs eToro at a Glance: Headline-Metric Summary
The Robinhood-eToro comparison contrasts two listed brokers building meaningfully different businesses. Robinhood concentrates revenue in US options, crypto, and net interest income, growing ARPU faster than the customer base. eToro spreads commissions across crypto, equities, commodities, and currencies in a wider geographic footprint, with a regulated CFD product that carries a mandatory retail-loss disclosure under FCA and CySEC rules. Readers benchmarking Robinhood against the other major US-listed retail head-to-head can pair this page with our Robinhood vs Coinbase comparison.
Conclusion
The seven-to-one funded-customer gap and the 70/16/10/4 geographic split for eToro are the two numbers that frame the comparison most clearly. Robinhood’s 27.4 million funded customers in Q1 2026 dwarf eToro’s 3.81 million funded accounts across 75 countries, yet eToro carries a CFD product line whose mandatory retail-loss disclosure states that 52% of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs.
Readers comparing the two platforms should align the choice to the product menu and jurisdictional access. US retail investors who want options, crypto, equities, and net-interest-bearing cash sit naturally with Robinhood. Global multi-asset traders in Europe, the UK, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa markets, particularly those who want CFDs across crypto, commodities, and currencies, sit naturally with eToro. The current period’s data does not establish either platform as superior on a like-for-like basis; the two firms simply do not offer the same product menu to the same retail customer.
