Etoro’s Wild Crypto Ride: Revenue Triples Ahead of IPO!

by

Once upon a time, in the zany world of finance, a plucky little Israeli trading platform named Etoro decided to take its biggest leap yet. Armed with oodles of moolah and a boatload of gumption, it strutted up to the gates of Wall Street with a shiny prospectus in hand, ready to wow the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). “We’re going public!” it hollered, sending everyone into a tizzy. 📣💰

In a plot twist juicier than a ripe orange, Etoro revealed it had tripled its revenues in 2024! Yes, triple—not double, not quadruple, but a perfectly symmetrical triple. The catch? A whopping 96% of that bonkers revenue came from cryptocurrency trading. That’s right, those digital coins people are always arguing about. 🪙👀

You better sit down for this: Last year, Etoro raked in $12.6 billion in revenue and netted a tidy little profit of $192 million. Compare that to the year before, when they were still rolling in the dough but just at a slightly lower pile of $3.89 billion in revenue and $15.3 million in profits. You can almost see the dollar signs springing out of their eyes! 💸💸

Now, Etoro is hoping to charm investors even more by raising between $300 million and $400 million in its IPO. They’ve slapped a pre-money valuation of $4.5 billion on the operation—though rumor has it they’d really prefer a $5 billion sticker. A classic case of “aim for the stars, settle for the moon,” eh? 🌝📈

Oh, and speaking of plot twists, this isn’t Etoro’s first attempt at IPO-ing. Back in 2021, they flirted with the idea via a SPAC merger. But alas, the stock market threw a tantrum, and their plans got shelved faster than last week’s leftovers. But hey, second time’s the charm, right? Or is it third? Fourth? We’ve lost count. 🥴

On board for this crazy crypto carnival are big fancy names like Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, who’ll serve as the lead managing bookrunners. Because, of course, you need some serious financial muscle when your IPO dreams are this grand. 🎩💼

For those curious (and, let’s be honest, who wouldn’t be?), you can read all the gritty details in their prospectus right here. But be warned—it’s not bedtime reading unless you find numbers thrilling and stock market jargon soothing. 😴📜
