- The maximum amount per transaction is $50,000 USD (or its equivalent in another currency).
- The maximum total amount allowed per day across all transactions is $200,000 USD (or its equivalent).
These limits are in place for all assets supported by the wallet.
Selling Crypto for GBP or EUR
When you sell cryptocurrency directly within your eToro Money wallet for British Pounds (GBP) or Euros (EUR), a fee is applied. The exact fee will be clearly displayed as an estimate before you confirm and complete the sale.
Your membership level in the eToro Club tier program can provide significant discounts on this selling fee:
- Silver Tier: Standard 1% fee.
- Gold & Platinum Tiers: 20% discount, resulting in a 0.8% fee.
- Platinum+ & Diamond Tiers: 40% discount, resulting in a 0.6% fee.
There are also limits on the amount of cryptocurrency you can sell for fiat currency within the wallet. These limits are subject to change based on various factors.
Ethereum and ERC-20 Token Transactions
The eToro Money wallet employs a robust multi-signature security solution that uses smart contracts to facilitate transactions on the Ethereum network. This enhanced security measure has an important implication for users.
Not all external wallet providers and exchanges support sending to or receiving from smart contract addresses. Before initiating a transfer of Ethereum (ETH) or any ERC-20 token, you must confirm that the recipient's address supports transactions originating from a multi-signature wallet. If you are unsure, it is essential to contact the support team of the recipient's wallet or exchange provider to avoid potential loss of funds.
