Today eToroX, the blockchain subsidiary of international investment network eToro announces that it will include120 ERC-20 standard tokens to its multi crypto on chain wallet.
Out of the existing 120 tokens, the first five tokens added to the eToro wallet from Tuesday are three cryptoassets: OmiseGO (OMG), Basic Attention Token (BAT), Maker (MKR) and two eToro stablecoins eToro US DollarX (USDX) and eToro EuroX (EURX). ERC-120 is a Complex standard that stipulates rules for tokens listed on ethereum or related blockchains.
Managing Director of eToroX, Doron Rosenblum, said:
“Adding 120 ERC-20 tokens to the eToro wallet are further evidence of our belief that one day all investable assets will be tokenized. One of the main barriers to mass adoption of cryptoassets is lack of access. Making these first five tokens available enables more people to transfer and hold them into a secure and regulated wallet. The next step will be adding more ERC-20 tokens to our exchange, which we plan to do in the near future.”
The eToro Digital Wallet
ERC-20 tokens are used strictly on the Ethereum blockchain platform and must adhere to stipulated rules so that they can be shared, transferred to a crypto wallet, or exchanged for other crypto assets.

Furthermore, the firm also launched eight eToro-branded stablecoins and a Cryptocurrency exchange back in April.
Yoni Assia, the co-founder, and eToro CEO commented at the time:
“Just as eToro has opened up traditional markets for investors, we want to do the same in the tokenized world. […] Blockchain will eventually ‘eat’ traditional financial services through tokenization.”
