Willkie client eToro Group, the multi-asset social investment network, announced on August 17 that it signed a definitive agreement to acquire Gatsby, an options trading platform tailored to a new generation of investors.

The acquisition is a key step in the diversification of eToro’s offering to U.S. users, which is currently focused on crypto and stocks. Gatsby’s integration is expected to support eToro’s goal of providing multi-asset investment tools to U.S. users as it grows its social investing network through education, innovation and enabling simple access to the assets and tools people want.

eToro is a social investment network of more than 28 million registered users. It was founded in 2007 with the vision of opening up the global markets so that everyone can trade and invest in a simple and transparent way.

The Willkie team was led by partners Justin Browder and Dvir Oren and included associates Andrew Marmer, Samuel Bolam and Brannock Furey.
