Crypto Stories: eToro co-founder Yoni Assia’s life in finance led him to adopt crypto early By Cointelegraph

[ad_1]



Yoni Assia, co-founder and CEO of eToro, entered the finance industry early. After receiving stock as a bar mitzvah gift, he became a successful trader while still in high school. Those profits largely disappeared as the dot-com bubble burst just as he was beginning his military service. That would turn out to be the first of a number of dramatic highs and lows Assia has seen in his career.

In this episode of Cointelegraph’s Crypto Stories, Assia recounts the early days of eToro and the launch of crypto trading on the platform — which a young programmer named Vitalik Buterin helped with.
