In May 2018 Etoro moved all Crypto and stocks from CFD to underlying (real, owned) assets "invest in crypto/stocks, own the underlying assets" meaning users were attracted use Etoro specifically for LONG TERM investments, to hold the assets for long term and invest with few years in view, as I have done(witout knowing that Etoro can actually close your account any time).
This was false advertising, a misrepresntation as I later discovered this legal term, as they did not state the real risks - Etoro was still in charge of users money and could close account any time.

Investing became safe and all the information that 75% retail users loose on CFD was no longer applicable to real, non leveraged trades, as there was no margin trading, stop lossess could be disabled, postioon could drop to 1$ and still be kept on Etoro until it recovers years latter.
This was another major FALSE sense of security and safety, becasue Etoro didn`t warn that they Still hold power over closing any positiosn as they see fit, not the user, and can close account without warnign or reason. Thay kept that possibility in their sleeve, and used it to eliminate users who started sensing problems with the platform, like me, while kicking them out they were profiting on users lossess, as every negative difference between opening and closing was kept by Etoro.



Real, not CFD crypto and stocks trading was one of the reasons I stayed on plar
tform, as the stocsk and crypto assets were no longer CFD, ther was no stop loss, no margin, no overnight fees, and I could keep/own them on Etoro for long term, therefore I chose Etoro to be LONG TERM crypto investment platform (not being aware that they can terminate account any moment, and that my money in invested in crypto wasn`t covered by FCA regulations!. I believe my lossess should covered by FCA because they are not result problem with crypto asset or it suddenly droping in price, in fact my positions kept rising in price an today would be approx. 70% higher!). My losses were due to Etoro removing invonvenient user from their platform and Etoro is purererly reponsible and therefore liable to answer before FCA and CySES for terminating my account without a reasn and at worst possible time ever (at the start of confirmed bull run)!.
Termination of my account was just as excuse to keep my future profits for Etoro, basically steal my money, which should have stayed on the platform until I decide to sell them. There was no reason for termination, limiting deposits and opening new positiosn would be sufficient. Etoro had no right to decide for me (wrongly) when to sell.
