Where do retail investors go from here in 2026? What’s the next big thing?
00:46 Speaker A
Well, I I think it’s definitely AI, right? We were very early on to crypto. We started buying Bitcoin at $5. Uh, Vitalik was in eToro’s offices, uh inspired by our colored coins about tokenization of assets uh before starting Ethereum. So I think there’s now sort of two parallel tracks that have a lot of connection between them, which is tokenization and all assets becoming digital.

And retail investors and generally the world of investing becoming significantly more powerful through AI, through intelligent investing. So when I started trading, I was always around so how do I build software? How do I create algorithms to trade the markets? But it’s very hard, it was very hard to create quantitative strategies, to be 24/7, to build a software that can monitor the markets 24/7, what’s happening in the markets and manage your portfolio. And now what we’re seeing in eToro, we just launched our App Store and an AI studio for investors where they can actually vibe code, so you can just write in natural language. Uh uh basically and and we saw some of these apps that are pro investors started developing and they’re like, build me the, you know, Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham, like the fathers of value investing. I want their personas, read everything about them on the internet, and I want Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett to comment on my portfolio and I want to talk to them about about my portfolio.
