eToro is acquiring Australian investing app Spaceship in a deal worth up to AUD 80 million ($55 million). This move strengthens eToro’s presence in the Australian market and expands its focus on long-term savings and passive investments. Founded in 2017, Spaceship has over 200,000 clients and manages AUD 1.5 billion ($1 billion) in assets through superannuation and managed funds.
Yoni Assia, eToro’s CEO, emphasized that both companies share the goal of making investing more accessible, with plans to integrate their platforms. Spaceship will continue operating under its own brand, and its clients will gain access to eToro’s investment tools, while eToro users will benefit from Spaceship’s superannuation offerings.
