eToro to Acquire Self-Custodial Crypto Wallet Zengo in $70 Million Deal

eToro Group Ltd has agreed to acquire self-custodial crypto wallet startup Zengo for roughly $70 million in a mostly cash transaction announced April 16, bringing keyless wallet technology directly into its multi-asset trading ecosystem. The deal merges eToro’s platform and distribution scale with Zengo’s technology, which removes the burden of managing private keys by keeping wallets both secure and easy to use.

The acquisition fits the M&A roadmap eToro outlined last July, targeting deals that could add asset classes and extend its reach beyond existing markets in the US, UK, Israel, Cyprus, and Australia. Similar to how Mastercard acquires BVNK moved to acquire stablecoin infrastructure through its BVNK deal.

How Zengo’s MPC Wallet Tech Is Rewriting the Rules of Self-Custody eToro CEO Yoni Assia explained that Zengo’s Multi-Party Computation (MPC) wallet aligns with its evolution toward an increasingly digital, decentralized, and user-controlled system, with self-custody playing an important role in that evolution.

“Zengo has built an innovative and secure wallet experience, and this acquisition will enable us to accelerate its growth while continuing to provide users with choice in how they access digital assets,” he said. Zengo Co-founder and CEO, Ouriel Ohayon, aligned on the same mission, he said, “From day one, Zengo has focused on making self-custody simple and secure for everyday users.

Joining eToro allows us to accelerate that mission at a global scale.” Zengo’s keyless design eliminates the single point of failure that has long plagued crypto private-key management, using two independently generated mathematical shares to authenticate users instead of a recoverable key.

The approach keeps the security architecture robust while lowering the barrier for everyday users to manage their own digital assets.
