Our earnings press release, investor presentation, and October monthly spreadsheet is now available on our website at investors.eToro.com. Today, I'm joined by Yoni Astia, our CEO, and by Mehran Shani, our CFO. Following the prepared remarks, we will conduct a Q&A session and answer questions from both institutional research analysts and a selection of the most upvoted question previously submitted by eToro's retail shareholders. But before we begin, I want to note that today's discussion contains forward-looking statements, including statements about goals, business outlook, industry trends, market opportunities, expectations for future financial performance and similar items, all of which are subject to risk, uncertainties and assumptions.

With that, I will pass the call to Yoni.

Thank you, Daniel, and thank you, everyone, for joining us today. Welcome to our third quarter's 2025 earnings call. After Miron and I conclude our prepared remarks, we'll open it up for questions. We're proud to share another strong quarter that reflects Etoro's continued momentum and growing strength as a global leader in trading and investing this performance with net contribution up 28 percent year over year to 215 million dollars and adjusted the beta rising 43 percent to 78 million dollars delivering solid operating margins of 36 percent is a testament to the vision resilience and scalability of our diversified business what excites us most is the remarkable pace of innovation unfolding across eToro with AI accelerating our product development we're not only enhancing the platform that our users know today we're reshaping the future of investing we're expanding into new frontiers in crypto tokenization and AI while also broadening our global reach to serve an ever-growing community of smart investors this wave of innovation is delivering tangible results, record assets under administration, robust growth across all segments, and unprecedented engagement in copy trading. Together, these achievements underscore how our investment in technology is fueling growth, deepening client engagement, and bringing us ever closer to our mission, which is to empower everyone to trade and invest in a simple and transparent way. Our key performance indicators accelerated meaningfully this quarter. Funded accounts grew 16% year-over-year to $3.73 billion, with organic funded accounts expanding at a double-digit rate. This growth demonstrates the growing appeal of eToro's differentiated platform, the trust we've built with our global community of investors and the success of our disciplined and data-driven marketing approach assets under administration reached an all-time high of 20.8 billion up 76 percent year over year fueled by growth in new deposits and strong user investment returns in both crypto and equities this year the positive momentum in our kpis has continued into q4 as shown in the October results released today these results show our strategy in action we're democratizing investing by making it simple accessible and social while combining multi asset trading with smarter products like copy trading and smart portfolios to empower investors everywhere as we execute on this vision we're confident in our ability to deliver lasting value for our users and shareholders. To achieve the strong performance we delivered in Q3, we've remained focused on executing across our four strategic pillars of trading, investing, wealth management and neobanking, while accelerating product innovation across the platform. Let me share a few highlights across each of these areas. In trading, we're continuing to expand market access globally. We continue to expect our 24-5 trading. We began offering retail investors access to stocks listed on Nasdaq Nord exchanges throughout our partnership with Nasdaq. This expansion comes amid rising retail investor interest in the global markets. Today, we offer access to 22 different exchanges worldwide and plan to increase to over 30 in 2026. We've expanded futures across Europe and launched spot-quoted futures in partnership with the CME Group. Retail participation continues to grow in these markets, and we are pleased to give local traders the ability to execute in more advanced and diversified strategies. Our expanded futures also establishes the infrastructure to support prediction markets in the future. In investing, we're bringing together the power of community and AI to drive deeper user engagement on eToro's platform and help investors make smarter decisions with AI. Our pro-investor community has grown to over 4,000 investors globally, supported by our new pro-investor program. This program is designed to support users on their journey to certify themselves as professional investors. Our pro-investors gain exposure and grow their profile by sharing their expertise with E-Toro's global user base. In addition, over 130 pro-investors now have north of $1 million assets under management, with our top pro-investor growing from $50 million to over $250 million in 2025 alone, a milestone that reflects the growth and influence of our pro-investor program. Last month, we launched CopyTrading in the U.S. We're excited to bring our flagship product to the world's largest capital market. CopyTrading today is experienced across approximately a third of our users. With the launch of CopyTrading in the U.S., we anticipate increased user engagement and platform traction. In AI, we're entering the next great leap in trading and investing, one that puts the power of professional-grade technology direct in the hands of every investor. With our newly launched eToro apps, users can build, share, and scale their own investment tools across our global community. What was once the privilege of sophisticated institutions is now being democratized. Our AI-driven insights from sentiment to decision analysis enable investors to think and act as institutional investors by creating their own strategies, dashboards, and innovations that shape the future of investing. In wealth management, we launched a new subscription model for the eToro Club, our loyalty and rewards program, offering members premium benefits and exclusive features. The subscription offers members smarter tools, monetary benefits, and more personalized support while driving incremental engagement. Furthermore, we've expanded eToro long-term savings offering for our UK users with the new eToro cash ISA and cashback rewards on management and do-it-yourself ISAs. And in Australia, we advanced integration of Spaceship, giving users direct access to superannuation products through the eToro platform. These developments demonstrate our commitment to continuously enhancing wealth management offering, which is a multi-trillion dollar opportunity. with the Australian superannuation market valued at over $2.5 trillion and the UK individual savings account market exceeding $1.3 trillion. In EO Banking, we continue to enhance our global platform by delivering localized experiences that strengthen user trust, drive adoption, and support sustainable growth across our key regions. This quarter, we expanded our localization offering in the UAE, Singapore, and Australia. Furthermore, across the UK and Europe, on top of the 4% cashback in stocks, we now offer also a 1% cashback in stocks for new crypto deposits. We plan to expand this offering to more countries in the future. We're also very pleased with the strong traction we've seen with the Toro Money card, available today in Europe and the UK, which saw a 2.4 times increase in cards issued quarter over quarter. Looking ahead, we believe there are five key factors that will drive eToro's continued growth and advance our mission to open the global markets, connect users to leading investors, and give them tools they need to grow their knowledge and wealth. Number one, advancing at the forefront of innovation. Number two, continuing to expand globally. Number three, expanding our U.S. presence. Number four, broadening our product offering with AI. And number five, is leading into inevitable lasting macro trends. We are focused on positioning our business to capture the significant growth opportunities presented by these five factors. First, advancing the platform at the forefront of innovation. From day one, product innovation has been at the core of who we are. We've built a strong track record of identifying early major trends like social trading and crypto and turning these trends into products that bring real financial utility to our users. Our social investing products continue to define who we are today as a company. From the outset 15 years ago, eToro set out to transform retail investing experience by pioneering the concept of social investing, empowering individuals to learn from one another and invest together. We believe there is a tremendous value in shared knowledge and collective insight. Over the years, we have led the industry with innovations such as our social network, copy trading, crypto investing, fractional shares, machine-learn driven analytics, and our smart portfolios. Together, these capabilities make investing more inclusive, informed, and collaborative for our growing global community. Artificial intelligence is the next frontier in investing, and we're already seeing the impact across our business. Our AI analyst story, launched last quarter, has already been used by over a third of our club members, a strong sign of engagement and potential. As we expand our AI capabilities, we're giving investors powerful tools to make smarter decisions, improve performance, and deepen their connection to our platform. Our vision is also centered on building open, tokenized, and borderless markets to help millions to build wealth. We're bringing U.S.-listed equities to the blockchain, enabling 24-5 trading of over 500 prominent stocks with plans to move forward to 24-7 as the market's involved. We're currently developing a crypto wallet that will open the opportunity for our users through decentralized finance to participate in innovations like on-chain prediction markets, lending, loans, and swaps of their assets of millions of different crypto assets. and connect our tokenized assets ecosystem and benefit from tokenization of real-world assets, which will happen over time. We expect these more advanced crypto products to continue to increase our client engagement within the crypto industry. Second, continue to expand globally. We're proud to serve users in more than 75 different countries across the world. The diversification of our revenues across geographies is a core strength of eToro and a differentiator of our business. In Q2, we expanded our footprint in Asia by launching our capital market services license in Singapore, a meaningful step towards scaling our business in that region. Looking ahead, we plan to further localize our offering in key markets and continue to expand globally in regions where we're underpenetrated. as part of our broader strategy to solidify eToro's position as a truly global platform serving investors everywhere. Third, expanding our U.S. presence. We're seeing solid growth in the U.S. Year-to-date, new funded accounts have already surpassed those of 2024, and we've achieved that growth while remaining disciplined and efficient in our marketing spend consistent with our strategy. To continue this growth, we're focused on bringing the full product offering for which we are known globally into the U.S. market. For example, in the third quarter, we brought in a crypto offering in the U.S. to include more than 100 different crypto assets and introduced staking in the U.S. As a result, we saw three times increase in our crypto volumes quarter over quarter in the U.S. market. Additionally, last month, we announced a launch of copy trading in the U.S., a major milestone that lays the foundation for our next phase of expansion in this market. The copy trading product is a significant driver of user engagement with our platform, as reflected in the increase of the number of trades we've seen this year. We expect copy trading to be an important driver of growth in the U.S. going forward. Fourth, broadening our products offering. In our core markets, we're focused on increased engagement and share of wallet by broadening what we offer across our four strategic pillars, trading, investing, wealth management, and neobanking. We continue to expand each of these areas quarter after quarter. As mentioned, recent highlights include the launch of the savings products in the UK and France, expansion of the Toro money card across Europe, the rollout of futures and options across key European markets, and introducing localized trading and cash management capabilities in new regions as well. This approach has proven successful over time by driving both higher user retention and growth in assets per account. And fifth, leaning into lasting macro trends. Over the next 20 years, we will see the largest generational transformation of wealth in history, with over $150 trillion moving to younger generations globally. These younger generations are digital first, and they're far more engaged with equities and crypto than their parents. On their back end, we also expect to see $100 trillion moving on chained as capital markets transform into digital assets. Moreover, in many non-U.S. markets, retail participation remains below U.S. levels. We believe this gap will continue to narrow as younger generations, more inclined to invest in crypto and equities than their parents, enter the market, offering us a long runway for growth across our global franchise. These secular shifts are a powerful tailwind that will continue to support both assets under administration and new account growth over the long term. Altogether, these five drivers give us a strong confidence in our ability to deliver sustainable, profitable growth and position eToro as the global broker of choice. Lastly, we announced today a $150 million share repurchase program, underscoring our confidence in Toro's long-term growth prospects and our continued commitment to delivering value for shareholders. We believe that our stock is undervalued, and given our significant cash generation, we have the flexibility to buy back shares. Our strong cash position also gives us the ability to consider M&A opportunities to drive inorganic growth. We're evaluating a range of opportunities, though we will remain disciplined in any transaction we pursue. In sum, this quarter's results and KPIs for October clearly demonstrate that our strategy is working. We're achieving double-digit growth in organic-funded accounts, significantly increasing our assets and administration, expanding net contribution and adjusted EBITDA margins, and doing so while entering new markets and launching new products that strengthen our leadership for the future. With strong execution, financial discipline, and a relentless focus on innovation, we believe we're very well positioned to drive long-term value, and we're just getting started. With that, I will pass now along the call to Moron, our CFO, to discuss our financial results.

Thank you, Yoni. As Yoni mentioned, we are very pleased with our third quarter results. Third quarter net contribution grew 28% year-over-year to $215 million, and adjusted EBITDA grew 43% year-over-year to $78 million. In line with our focus on diversified profitable revenue growth, our adjusted EBITDA margin was 36%, expanding 370 basis points from a year ago. These results are consistent with our view that our long-term adjusted EBITDA margins will increase from these levels. Our momentum has accelerated in the third quarter. Assets ad administration for the quarter increased 76% year-over-year to a record of $20.8 billion, while our funded accounts grew 16% year-over-year to $3.73 million. The growth was driven by strong user acquisition and retention efforts and ongoing disciplined marketing. Let's take a closer look at our third quarter financials by business lines, compared to a year ago. Our net trading contribution from crypto grew 229% year-over-year to $56 million, which was largely driven by higher invested amount per trade and increased crypto activity, especially in the month of July and August. Our net trading contribution from capital markets, equities, commodities, and currencies declined 21% year-over-year to $73 million as investors shifted activity between crypto and capital markets. The 15% rise in the number of trades was driven by strong momentum across copy trading with record inflows into copy, a clear reflection of growing customer engagement and platform strength. Net interest income contributed $62 million, up 44% year-over-year, largely driven by a 52% increase in higher interest-earning assets due to an increase in customers' cash deposits, customers' margin book, staking, and corporate cash. E-Toro money contribution grew 50% year-over-year to $21 million, largely driven by an increase in total money transfers. In the third quarter, adjusted OPEX was $137 million, flat quarter-on-quarter. Our adjusted selling and marketing expense was $47 million, or 22% of net contribution. Our business model provides us with flexibility in our selling and marketing expense, where approximately 70% of our expense is dynamic. Adjusted R&D and G&A in operating expenses were $36 million and $54 million, respectively. Our adjusted diluted EPS for the quarter was $0.60 compared to $0.51 in the third quarter of 2024. Moving to our balance sheet, we ended the quarter with $1.2 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, and generated $57 million in free cash flow from operations. Now let me share a few comments on fourth quarter trends. As part of our quarterly results today, we also released our October monthly KPIs, consistent with our commitment to greater transparency and enhanced disclosure, we will now begin publishing KPIs on a monthly basis. We've also made a detailed spreadsheet available on our website, which includes historical monthly data to help investors better track our performance over time. Our goal is to provide the investment community with the information and tools needed to more clearly understand model and evaluate our business the month of october continues the strength that we saw in q3 our capital markets and crypto businesses saw significant year-over-year growth in both total number of trades and invested amount per trade. Assets under administration was $20.5 billion, up 72% year-over-year. Funded accounts were 3.76, up 17% year-over-year. To summarize, we are very pleased with our strong Q3 performance and positive momentum, and we believe we are well positioned to capture new opportunities, drive sustainable growth, and further strengthen eToro's leadership in global investing. With that, Daniel, let's move to Q&A.

Thank you, Moron. The first question here comes from a list of questions that have been pre-submitted by our retail investors. This question is for Yoni. So eToro announced its new subscription offering. Can you comment on why eToro decided to launch the program and what is the opportunity?

Sure. We've built the eToro Club program to provide great premium benefits, including unique features, better service, as well as discounts to various parts in eToro, as well as the card, the cashback, and now the crypto cashback. The club originally was based only on the tiers of how much assets customers have. And we wanted to provide the same great benefits to people who want to subscribe to the new eToro subscription. This also consolidates to subscription models that we've had from acquisitions that we've done in the past. And we're very excited to see how the pickup is already to the new subscription model.

Thank you, Yoni. Operator?

Certainly. As a reminder, to ask a question, you will need to press star 1-1 on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. To withdraw your question, please press star 1-1 again, and please stand by while we compile our Q&A roster. Our first question will be coming from Dan Fannin of Jefferies. Your line is open, Dan.

Thanks. Good morning. I wanted to talk about account growth, and so obviously it's been good or quite strong. I was hoping you could talk about if there are regions or new markets that are contributing more and maybe the breakdown of that account growth here, not just for the quarter, but also October, if there's any more granularity, that would be helpful.

Sure. Thank you, Dan. So with regard to our current growth, like organically, as we discussed in the past, we have achieved a double-digit growth. We've seen great results coming out of the cohort of clients that we are bringing, increasing their level of deposits onto the platform and increasing their level also of engagement with the platform. So overall, very good results. With regards to geographic, we're not breaking down geographically, but I could definitely tell you that we're seeing early but good signs coming out of the new regions that we launched recently and in the last few years as well, as well as significant strength coming from our core markets.

And we have seen also a very good increase in the size of accounts coming into eToro. So it's both new funded accounts growth and their first-time deposit, which is a very good indicator to the future size of the accounts.

Great. Thank you.

And our next question will be coming from Devin Ryan. Citizens, your line is open.

Thanks. Good morning, everyone. A question on artificial intelligence implications here. So great to see 30% of club members engage with Tori. It would be great to hear about anything you can share on kind of the conversion uplift from doing research to actually trading and trade frequency. I know we're early days here, but I'm just trying to think about that. And more broadly, taking a step back, just some of the other types of offerings you're planning to launch with artificial intelligence and just how you feel like that can maybe differentiate the eToro offering in the market.

Sure. So during our pro-investor summit about two weeks ago, we've actually announced our new tools, an AI studio for pro-investors to actually vibe code tools. Those tools includes both new types of analysis that can actually look at their portfolio using AIs, look at other people's portfolio using AIs, read our entire feed and create automated strategy. I think the biggest driver eventually of AI, and I started, I think I did my first automated trading strategy when I was about 16, 17, is the transition from just click to trade through the UX to eventually running automated strategies, quantitative strategies of our users. And what we've built is the ability for our pro investors to actually build those apps, those strategies. It includes dashboards and analysis of how they generate their trades and then actually provide an app store so all of our customers can access that. And we've seen some really amazing apps developed already by our pro investors. Just as a quick example, we've had one of our pro investors actually creating the persona of Warren Buffett, Benjamin Graham, and I think it was Cathie Wood, basically ranking his stocks in his portfolio and suggesting how to rebalance the portfolio. So I do believe AI One is an amazing tool for people who are not necessarily technical to actually bring in sort of their ideas on how to automate their strategies, how to make their strategies more professional on top of the eToro platform. And I think over time that drives both high returns, so making our customers more successful, and actually higher velocity of trades in eToro.

That's great. Thank you.

And our next question. We'll be coming from Craig Siegenthaler of Bank of America. Your line is open, Craig.

Thanks for taking my question and hope everyone's doing well. Our question is on your strategic focus by geography. So, you know, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I see a company that is very focused on growth in the U.S., in Asia, and maybe widening geographically its new markets. But Etoro has a leading share in Europe with some scale. And this market also looks a lot less competitive than the U.S. and Asia. So my question is, why not focus on your first mover advantage in Europe and continue to deepen your investor base there, especially given that there are less regular restrictions on your copy trader model in Europe than in the U.S.?

Sure. So as we think of our growth strategy, first of all, we think of long-term growth, and we do want to build significant presence in the U.S. and in Asia. Nonetheless, on the day-to-day, when we drive our marketing, and most of our marketing is a data-driven performance marketing approach, we always look at basically the ratio between CAC to LTV. So when we have a strong region, and obviously some of our strongest regions in Europe, UAE, Australia as well, we're actually doubling down on growth there as well. So we are focused on growing the business through data-driven approach and make sure that where we see the highest return on investment, that's where we continuously grow and invest more. So we are definitely focused on maintaining our leadership in Europe in the retail brokerage industry.

Thank you.

And our next question will be coming from James Yarrow of Goldman Sachs. Your line is open.

Good morning, and thanks for taking the question. Could you help us think about the account growth algorithm here? What do you see as achievable for account growth going forward? Is it high single digits or double-digit account growth on a yearly basis? And then in the press release, you talked about net new accounts in the first three quarters being stronger than all of 2024. But maybe any ability to comment more narrowly on the 3Q25 trends?

Sure. So, first of all, strategically, we are aiming towards double-digit growth of funded accounts. We believe, again, the total available market of new generations coming into the markets, the market itself, will grow in double digits. And we believe we can outpace the market growth in all of our both existing strong regions in Europe and beyond, as well as obviously new regions such as the U.S. The comment in the press release, I do believe, was regarding the U.S., which post-IPO, we actually started basically revamping both our product strategy in the U.S., bringing all of eToro's global products into the U.S., including now more than 100 crypto assets, staking that was launched in the U.S. as well as very excited about launching CopyTrader now in the U.S. So we do expect double-digit growth in funded accounts moving forward strategically across all regions.

Thanks so much.

And our next question will be coming from Brett. Brett Noblock of Cantor Fitzgerald. Your line is open, Brett.

Hi, guys. Thanks for taking my question. Maybe two. One, on the crypto side, it was a really strong quarter in terms of crypto volumes. I think you guys bought into the outpaced global spot volumes by 2 to 1, if not more. Can you point to how much of that was maybe from what you did in the U.S. and had new tradable assets in the U.S., plus maybe outside of the U.S.? And then as a follow-up, I think ECC came a bit below where we were expecting. Could you just talk about the dynamics at play within ECC during the quarter as well? Thank you.

So I'll cover high level, and then I'll let Mehran talk a bit about the numbers in the quarter. But first of all, when you look at our numbers in the last eight quarters, and you see that in the investor presentation, what we've seen over time is very clear. When one asset class is very strong, we see a shift towards that asset class from other asset classes. So every time crypto has a very strong momentum, we actually see the non-crypto revenues or capital markets revenue actually going down a bit. And then as crypto goes down, we see capital markets significantly shift higher as well. And that is a dynamic that we did see in Q3. In addition to that, within capital markets, there are two segments. There's currencies, commodities, and indices, basically future-based. And there's stocks. And we did see more stock trading volumes increase in Q3, which led to the lower basically take rate. is a stake rate on stock trading is lower than on commodities indices and effects. Regarding the crypto market, of course, we've seen a couple of all-times high during Q3 that always supports our crypto revenues and trading activities. In general, we do expect to continue and see a strong crypto market with a very, very positive U.S. administration towards the crypto industry and a lot of new product rollouts for eToro within the crypto industry. Would that be a bit about the actual numbers in Q3?

Sure. So we can see definitely a sequential growth from Q2 in a very high pace, both on the number of trades as well as the invested amount. We saw elevated activity coming in July and August as we released our KPIs also early September, about the summer so very good traction coming out of the crypto activities of customers in the summer we did see a slight reduction in that in September but remained very on the same level also in October we're very happy about what we see in the industry and in general as as it goes to become more and more mainstream we'll see the number of trades and the number of customers tapping into crypto, growing, and together with that, our revenues as well.

And our next question will be coming from Chris Allen of Citi. Your line is open.

Yeah, morning, everyone. Thanks for the question. Maybe you could talk about capital allocation priorities here. You announced the buyback this morning. It makes some sense with a lot of exploration now. But you've also talked in the past about looking at inorganic growth opportunities, particularly in the U.S., to build that out. So help us think about the different levers here from a capital allocation perspective.

Sure. So first of all, we've added a significant amount of cash flow already this year. So our balance sheet grew from $1 billion to $1.8 billion in total with $1.2 billion in cash and short-term investment. So we have a very strong balance sheet to look both at buyback and, again, at these levels. We do believe the price is undervalued, which is why we're buying as well. And, of course, leaves a significant amount of dry powder also to look at acquisitions. We have been talking to various potential targets. We're always excited to meet great teams of great founders with products that we believe add value to our customers and that our products will add value to their customers. And we're actively exploring these opportunities across different regions. And, of course, as we announce them, you'll know what are the actual targets.

Thank you. And our next question will be coming from Bill Katz of TD Cohen. Your line is open, Bill. the questions.

Sure. So prediction markets, we're looking at basically both alternatives. So first of all, we've launched futures in Europe, and the future rails that we've launched in Europe are the same rails that eventually enable basically to trade prediction markets in the US as well. In addition, we are launching our crypto wallet, which will enable our customers to engage with on-chain prediction markets, such as Polychain and others. So we're actually going towards both of those directions. We do believe that prediction markets on financial events, on geopolitics, on economic events, do create significant value in people thinking about their trading strategies or hedging what they want to do. And that initially will be our focus to help our customers basically find those financial opportunities that are related to their portfolios.

And our next question will be coming from Alex Cram of UBS. Your line is open, Alan.

Yes. Hello. Good morning, everyone. Just on copy trader in the U.S., I know it's super early, but maybe you can talk a little bit about how you're looking to scale it in terms of marketing you're leaning in. I think you have 300,000 roughly accounts in the U.S. I think you said earlier, CompuTrader globally is a third or so of your clients have uptake there. So just how should we be thinking about the opportunity and how quickly it can scale and if the third is kind of like a good target for the U.S. as well?

Sure. So our view holistically is always as we enter new markets to roll out all of the products that we offer globally in that market. And, of course, we look at the U.S. as a huge opportunity with now crypto back, staking back, and CopyTrader now launch alongside stocks and options trading as well. And the way we look at each product that we release is an attachment of a customer. So a customer engaging with CopyTrader. What we see over time is their increase in both size of the wallet or share of wallet as well as over time LTV increases significantly. So the way we view it is we continue basically to do what we do across the globe. Now here in the U.S., which is promoting the copy trader feature within the app, increase the attachment rate of copy trading, building gradually more and more great investors that in the U.S. people can copy. And over time, we'll see that increasing LTV and enabling us to basically spend more or increase our CACs in the marketing budget to bring in more users to the eToro platform. So it's all about bringing all of the products to our U.S. product strategy, then make sure that throughout the product we create those attachment rates that increase the lifetime value and share of wallet of our customers here in the U.S., and that obviously leads to us scaling up our marketing strategy here in the U.S. in a profitable way.

And our next question will be coming from Jamie Friedman of Sesquahaneke International Group. Your line is open.

We can't hear the the line is a bit cut off so we can't hear the question properly sorry maybe try try again maybe now but the line was cut off. Can you guys hear me okay? Better Let's try again. No, apologies. We can't hear. The line gets cut off. I apologize. Let's move to the next question and then come back if we can get a better connection with him.

Certainly. Our next question will be coming from John Todaro of Needham. Your line is open, John.

Hey, great. Thanks for taking my question, guys, and congrats here. I just wanted to follow up, but we'll make sure I heard it correctly. Would you guys look for kind of economic partnerships on prediction markets with like a Kelsey or Polymarket? And then if I could get kind of a second question, it sounds like there is some, I don't know if you want to call it cannibalization intra-quarter between some of these trading products, as you mentioned, where crypto maybe goes up and some of the other markets go down a little bit. How do you eventually get around that where they kind of are all kind of up and up in the same quarter?

Sure. So first of all, you know, we are talking to Kalshi and Polymarket, obviously the market leaders in prediction markets, and we are excited about exploring the path of our users to be able to trade prediction markets on financial events. On the, sorry, do you want to take it? Yeah, the switching between the different products. So I'm not sure whether cannibalization is the right way to describe when customers inter-quarter trade different products. So over time, when you look at the growth of the net contribution of trading both in crypto and capital markets, you see them growing over time. And we think it's a great opportunity for people to actually reshuffle or rebalance their portfolios. We've seen, by the way, the same also between U.S. stocks and European stocks earlier this year as European stocks were very strong. And a lot of our customers started buying basically defense stocks. We've seen, obviously, in the past the same happening with meme stocks. Later, we've seen it with meme coins. So, again, as we bring in more products to our customers, we expect constant rebalancing of customers between different assets. And actually, that's the strength of eToro versus pure crypto companies which don't have stocks or significant capital markets. And it's the significant strength of eToro, the fact that we covered today 22 different global exchanges. So our customers can trade all of those different products alongside, of course, both on-exchange and off-exchange derivatives like futures and options. So we feel that the fact that customers are trading in between the different assets is a strength and something that we actually want to see with all of our customers.

That's great. Makes sense. Thank you.

And our next question comes from Brian Bedell of Deutsche Bank. Your line is open, Brian.

Great. Great. Thanks for taking my question. Maybe just to go back to copy trading, the mechanics of that in the U.S. in particular. I know there was some different regulatory regime in terms of being able to offer it with, I guess, the advisory component being a critical component of being able to be paid. Can you just go through the mechanics of how this is operating in the U.S. versus outside the U.S., and if it's the same now or, you know, when you expect to, you know, have that aligned with how it works outside the U.S.? And any commentary on initial take-up? I know it's very early, of course.

Sure. So, first of all, it's very early to look at take rates and engagement. But we have seen already people being copied and people copying top investors here on the U.S. platform, which is great to see. Second on the mechanics, the mechanics are quite similar from how it operates. So, you can actually, when you copy an investor, it copies their entire portfolio into your portfolio in the amount you chose. So, you copy somebody with $1,000, it fractionalizes his entire account across stocks and crypto. and basically opens those trades in your account. And every time they trade, it will trade in your account at the same time, the same price, and the same proportion. So the mechanics of copying works the same here in the U.S. and outside the U.S. We are looking right now outside the U.S. We've actually just revamped our pro-investor program, which is around how do the pro-investors actually get paid. Here, we're still early stages. We'll be building that as well as we move towards next year. The second copy product, which is our smart portfolios product, where our global chief investment office actually curates specific portfolios, about 120 different smart portfolios across different strategies. that part will fall under an RIA license, which we are in the process and expect that to launch in H1 next year.

Thank you.

And our next question will be coming from Dan DeLove of MIZ. Ms., your line is open.

Hey, from Lanzivo. Sorry about that. It's Dan here. Congrats, guys. Great quarter, great October.

I have a question on banking. you know, a lot of fintech companies view banking as the holy grail, kind of that's what everyone wants to do, so Yoni and Mehran, like how do you guys view sort of like banking services you know, globally in the US, etc in terms of the long-term opportunity for each other, thank you Sure, so I generally say everybody's looking at the concept of the super app right, so we believe our core is actually helping our customers find beta and alpha into their portfolio to generate over time returns and to compound wealth over time. So our view comes more from our core expertise on trading and investing. What we've seen over time is basically expanding the business also into savings, the various pension schemes around the world where we have already launched UK, Australia and France recently, including the now new launch of Cash Isas in the UK, and lastly, of course, neobanking. And what we wanted to see and what we're seeing in our strategy is basically when we provide our customers the virtual bank account on eToro, interest rate that they can get on their local currency, and the ability to convert easily FX from euro to dollars or pound to dollars to efficiently trade also U.S. capital markets and then attach into that also the Visa debit card, we remove the need of a customer to actually take their money back to the bank. So I think, you know, us as a financial super app, we're looking for customers to increase their share of wallet over time on eToro. We believe most of customer assets should be compounded towards capital markets and crypto markets, and they should easily spend from that account without the need to actually take their money back into the bank. And we've seen that significantly improve, basically, attachment rates of customers, lifetime value of customers, which is why we're also providing great incentives to use our Visa debit card with a 4% stockback. So when you spend, and we see a lot of our customers now posting on X when they're spending on a meal and then they get a 4% stockback into their portfolio. Again, why the stockback? Because we do believe that all of our customers should actually have most of their funds or the vast majority of their funds in capital markets and crypto markets. And that's the efficient way to compound wealth over time.

Great. Makes a lot of sense. So congrats again on a great quarter. Thank you.

Thank you.

And our next question will come from Jamie Friedman of Susquehanna International Group. For follow-up, your line is open, Jamie.

Hi. Thank you. Yoni, the press release indicates that the 16% growth in funded accounts was driven both by the user acquisition but also the retention. I was hoping at a high level you could unpack those dimensions. And then if I could just sneak in another one, Maroon, can you remind us about the typical seasonality of the business as we build out our models?

So we currently don't break down Winbeck's churn and retention, but we've been engaging significantly in going back into basically our database of funded accounts across time and making sure that they are kept up to date on all of the new product releases, whether it's, again, the debit card in Europe, whether it's futures trading or whether it's the new crypto wallet and the ability to use your crypto to buy stocks. So as we do that, we bring in also old customers into eToro, sort of customers that churned in the past that are now joining back eToro for our new products. The second question you can answer, Maron?

Yeah, with regards to, you touched about the breakdown, we do not provide it, but we can definitely see strong signs coming out of both the retention side as well as the acquisition, as we aim, as we discussed in the past, for a double-digit growth on the funded accounts on an annual basis?

Regarding seasonality, I would say historically we see strong Q1s and Q4s. It's mostly, though, related, I believe, to the markets. So I would say we're enjoying usually seasons of the markets. And it seems, again, if I look at the last three years, Q1s and Q4s are usually good markets in both crypto and capital markets. But, of course, we don't control the rain or the seasons. Thank you.

Next question will be coming from Alex Cram of UBS. Your line is open, Alex.

Yeah, hey, guys. Hello again. Just wanted a couple of follow-up questions. Hopefully I didn't miss this earlier. But on the expense side, I think previously it said flattish for the remainder of the year. Is that still right for the fourth quarter? And then just another housekeeping one on the interest income. I know there's a lot of moving pieces, but I think the implied rate, interest rate actually went up quarter over quarter if you just use the interest earning assets.

So, again, I know there's a lot of things in there, but maybe just unpack what you're seeing on the interest income side. thank you sure i'll start from the first one which was related related to the expenses so yeah definitely we as we mentioned uh last quarter uh we're aiming to keep our cost base uh the same quarter on quarter and indeed we came with a flat view so we are roughly looking at uh staying within those lines also in q4 um with regards to um the what was the second question second question, Daniel?

The interest income.

Yes, interest. Apologies. Yes, interest. So we have seen definitely there is a decrease in the interest rate coming from the two rate cuts. But what we have witnessed in those period is that actually customers' balances in all different asset classes have actually grown. Now, so even though there is a direct reduction expected in interest income, over time we do see those balances increase and therefore we should be able to grow also on the revenue that's also taking into consideration that customers are inclining when the interest rates are lower to bring their assets more into more riskier portfolios that will generate higher return for them than the lower interest rate in the market.

Fair enough. Thank you guys.

And we have no further questions. and for closing remarks, we'll bring it back to Daniel.

Thank you. Thank you for attending our earnings call today. We're looking forward to seeing you at our upcoming investor conference during the quarter. These conferences are on our website that you can go see on the investor relations section. And thank you and have a great day. Thank you very much. Thank you.
