eToro has announced the launch of Uniswap (UNI) and Chainlink (LINK) for trading on its platform. Doron Rosenblum, Vice President of Business Solutions at eToro, confirmed the announcement via a LinkedIn post.

According to eToro, the social investment network wants to provide additional options for its users to diversify their crypto portfolios.

A total of 18 assets now available on eToro

The two additions have taken the number of crypto assets on its platform to 18. These include Bitcoin (BTC), Litecoin (LTC), Ethereum (ETH), IOTA (MIOTA), Tezos (XTZ), Binance Coin (BNB), Tron Foundation (TRX), Cardano (ADA), Dash (DASH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ripple (XRP), Zcash (ZEC), NEO, Stellar (XLM), Ethereum Classic (ETC), and EOS.

The company said the addition of these crypto-assets is part of a move to increase its crypto offerings to both retail and institutional clients amidst the perceived increase in demand.

But BNB and XRP are not available for U.S. clients due to regulatory issues, according to eToro.
