A Xignite Case Study
eToro, the U.K.-based social trading platform founded in 2007, set out in 2013 to add U.S. and global stock trading to its existing CFD offerings to better serve both novice and experienced investors. The company needed to launch the new service quickly without disrupting its live platform and required a reliable, embeddable live market data feed to power stock quotes and trading features.
eToro selected Xignite’s Market Data Cloud APIs for real-time and historical data because of their reliability, coverage, ease of integration and cost, completing integration within weeks and keeping the platform live. The stock-trading launch powered new web and mobile experiences, helped grow the user base from 3.5 million to over 5 million in just over a year (~30% growth), and brought industry recognition such as a Star Award for Best Trading Platform and inclusion on the FinTech50 list.
