8 Best Ethereum Trading Brokers for 2026

Founded in 2005, FP Markets is an Australian-headquartered broker with Tier 1 regulation under Australia’s ASIC. It also holds Tier 1 regulation in Europe (through Cyprus’s CySEC), and it has other regulatory licenses in South Africa (FSCA), Kenya (CMA), Mauritius (FSC), St. Vincent & the Grenadines (FSA), and Seychelles (FSA).

Ethereum Trading Features:

• Leverage for ETH: up to 1:50
• Spread on ETH: 4.59 pips
• Total number of cryptocurrencies: 12
• Platforms: MT4/MT5, cTrader, TradingView
• Crypto deposit & withdrawal: ADA, BCH, BTC, DASH, ETH, LTC, PAX, XRP, TUSD, USDC, USDT, ZEC, DOGE, NEO, XIN, BNB, BSV, EURS, TRX, XED, DAI

I’ve always felt that FP Markets stands out because of the types of platforms it offers traders, opening up possibilities for those who want a more professional experience than the typical choices of MT4/MT5. For MT4/MT5, FP Markets gives access to Traders Toolbox, which has a bunch of tools, such as tick charts, session maps, stealth orders, and correlation charts.

If MT4/MT5 is too basic for you and you want to leave its environment, the Iress and Mottai trading platforms have the types of tools that professional traders or asset managers would want. This includes customized hotkeys (I can’t describe to you how useful these are for me because of the amount of time I spend on the charts), and split-screen views for multiple charts.

With the professional-level charting, good leverage, and lots of cryptocurrency choices, I am making FP Markets my Best Overall.

Founded in 2014, BlackBull Markets is a relatively new player in this list and also unique because it is headquartered in New Zealand with Tier 1 regulation under New Zealand’s Financial Markets Authority. I’m a big fan of New Zealand’s regulator because it’s as strict as other Tier 1 regulators, but allows for higher leverage than nearly all of them. BlackBull also has a regulatory license with the Seychelles FSA. (The regulation that applies to you will generally depend on your residence.)

Ethereum Trading Features:

• Leverage for ETH: up to 1:100
• Spread on ETH: 35.5 pips
• Total number of cryptocurrencies: 28
• Platforms: MT4, MT5, cTrader, TradingView, BlackBull Trade, BlackBull CopyTrade, BlackBull Shares, ZuluTrade

BlackBull Markets offers a good number of cryptocurrencies outside of Ethereum and more than most other brokers, with 28 in total. Outside of cryptocurrencies, it has a massive list of over 26,000 tradable assets with up to 1:500 leverage. I can imagine coming to this broker for Ethereum but end up staying for its other markets.

Founded in 2006, FxPro has several Tier 1 regulatory licenses, including regulation with the UK’s FCA, in Europe with Cyprus’s CySEC. It holds additional licenses in the Bahamas (SCB license) and Seychelles (FSA license). I like the fact that FxPro goes a step further by naming the banks holding its clients’ funds and its external auditors on its website. It uses only the largest banks in several regions and one of the world’s most well-known auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Ethereum Trading Features:

• Leverage for ETH: up to 1:200
• Spread on ETH: 60.7 pips
• Total number of cryptocurrencies: 28
• Platforms: MT4, MT5, cTrader, FxPro WebTrader, FxPro Mobile, TradingView

FxPro has a good number of cryptocurrencies outside of Ethereum, but also a decent number of other asset classes (Forex, indices, shares, futures, metals and energy) covering 2,100 trading instruments. It is a non-dealing desk broker that has some of the fastest execution times in the industry at under 12 milliseconds.

FxPro offers its proprietary FxPro Webtrader, plus MT4, MT5, cTrader, and TradingView. This list of platforms will cover most traders’ needs: their proprietary platform is clean and easy to use, MT4 and MT5 are great for automated strategies, cTrader has excellent execution speed and depth of market data, and TradingView has some of the best charting features available.

FxPro is clearly well-established, has plenty of trading instruments, and has fantastic execution speed. After reviewing it, I’m considering using it as my next broker.

Founded in 2006, AvaTrade has Tier 1 regulation in multiple jurisdictions: Australia (ASIC), Cyprus/Europe (CySEC), Ireland (CBI), and Japan (JFSA). It also has further licenses in South Africa (FSCA), Israel (ISA), Abu Dhabi (FSRA), and the British Virgin Islands (FSC). 

Ethereum Trading Features:

• Leverage for ETH: up to 1:2
• Spread on ETH: 3.76 pips
• Total number of cryptocurrencies: 25
• Platforms: MT4, MT5, AvaTrade Web Trader

AvaTrade is a true 100% manual market-maker/dealing desk execution model, i.e., it fills trades internally rather than directly with external liquidity providers. That gives them the advantage of being able to control spreads and fills much more tightly, especially during fast-moving markets, and orders get filled instantly in-house because there’s no lag of external routing.

It has a reasonable suite of platforms, with MT4/MT5 being standard, and their proprietary Webtrader and AvaTrade Mobile.

Outside of Ethereum and cryptocurrencies, AvaTrade has a reasonable number of markets that most traders would want to access, and overall, I like AvaTrade’s controlled environment, knowing I will get reliable spreads because of its market-maker model.

They have some unique add-ons, such as their AvaProtect risk management tool, which allows clients to protect a specific trade against losses of up to one million dollars over a chosen time frame, for a hedging cost.

Founded in 2008, Plus500 is regulated by multiple top-tier regulators, including in Europe through Cyprus’s CySEC, Australia’s ASIC, the UK’s FCA, and Canada’s CIRO. 

Ethereum Trading Features:

• Leverage for ETH: Up to 1:2 for retail traders, 1:200 for professionals (EU entity)
• Spread on ETH: 4.69 pips (this is a dynamic spread  that can change)
• Total number of cryptocurrencies: 24
• Platform: Plus500 WebTrader, Plus500 App

The broker offers CFDs on Ethereum and over 20 other cryptocurrencies. In general, Plus500 offers over 2,800 trading instruments covering equities, indices, Forex, commodities and ETFs. You can trade all of them on Plus500 WebTrader, which is one of the most innovative platforms I’ve ever reviewed. It’s very intuitive and packed with features you may need for popular tarding styles. But consider that the Plus500 platform does not feature one-click trading and depth-of-market (DOM), so scalping is not an option here.

Plus500 has built a tool called “+Insights” for its clients to measure market sentiment. Sentiment analysis is one of the most subjective types of analysis because it’s hard to source data with a decent sample size. This is where Plus500 leverages its large client base (millions of registered clients and hundreds of thousands of active users). Having access to data across this book is meaningful to make judgments on market sentiment.

Founded in 2007, eToro is regulated by multiple top-tier regulators, including in Europe through Cyprus’s CySEC, Australia’s ASIC, the UK’s FCA, and the US’s FINRA. The broker offers trading in forex pairs, commodities, stocks, indices, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies.

Ethereum Trading Features:

• Leverage for ETH: up to 1:2
• Spread on ETH: 38.79 pips
• Total number of cryptocurrencies: 130
• Platforms: eToro web platform, Delta app

eToro has gone down the road of only having its proprietary trading platform for its users, with a web-based, desktop app and mobile app version. However, it is, in most traders’ view, a user-friendly platform with a minimal aesthetic.

eToro has spent time developing a lot of education content (guides, videos, webinars and podcasts) contained within a dedicated learning portal, the eToro Academy.

Depending on your residence, eToro may allow you to buy and sell real crypto assets or trade CFD versions of cryptocurrencies. They have a much better than average range of cryptocurrencies, with 130 in total.

The user-friendly trading platform, along with the eToro Academy, tells me eToro is aiming to make it easy for traders who don’t need lots of advanced functionality, especially beginners, to simply trade.

Founded in 2008, Plus500’s US entity is regulated by the CFTC and NFA. Its US entity’s offering is focused on futures contracts and prediction markets. For US clients, Plus500 is a true futures broker (i.e., not CFDs on futures) that routes orders directly to exchanges, such as the CME, and its clients will hold the underlying futures contracts. It means it’s the exchanges that deliver the pricing and handle the fills.

Ethereum Trading Features:

• Leverage for ETH: $15 Micro ETH day margin for US clients; up to 1:2 for CFD
• Spread on ETH: 4.69 pips (these are dynamic spreads which can change)
• Total number of cryptocurrencies: 14
• Platform: Plus500 WebTrader, Plus500 Mobile App

Plus500 uses Micro Ether futures contracts, presumably because they can offer very low day margin rates of $15.For Ethereum, that means clients will trade Ethereum futures contracts (whose pricing may differ from the spot price). What I like about that is that trading through a regulated exchange avoids dealing with the potential mess of crypto exchanges, wallets, and the security of token storage, which can all be a giant headache and riddled with fraud.
