eToro Brings Spot-Quoted Futures to Spanish Investors
eToro has expanded its investment products in Spain by adding Spot-Quoted futures. It lets Spanish users trade futures that mirror the real-time price of major assets. The offering comes through a collaboration with CME Group.
What Are Spot-Quoted Futures?
Spot-Quoted futures are futures contracts priced using the current market value — also called the spot price — of the underlying asset. Traditional futures are priced based on expected future value. But these contracts reflect live market prices. It makes the pricing easier to understand for retail investors.
A financing adjustment applies to positions held for more than a day. It keeps the futures price aligned with the real-time value of the asset. The pricing model simplifies the process of trading futures for everyday investors.
What Markets Are Covered?
Spanish investors on eToro can now trade Spot-Quoted futures for six key markets:
- S&P 500
- Nasdaq-100
- Russell 2000
- Dow Jones Industrial Average
- Bitcoin
- Ether
Accessibility and Investment Details
The minimum investment required is approximately $200. A low entry point makes futures trading accessible to a broader audience. These are long-dated contracts with a one-year expiry. They don’t require monthly or quarterly rolls.
Users can choose to go long (BUY) or short (SELL) based on market expectations. Trading is open for most hours of the day, five days a week.
