Broker Review
Gatsby
Gatsby through eToro traces its current offering to 2018 and Jeff Myers and Ryan Belanger-Saleh; acquired by eToro. Unlike a generic brokerage description, its defining characteristic is that it is a legacy options app acquired by eToro rather than a current standalone brokerage. The business combines execution or portfolio access with the account servicing described in this profile. The company is privately held or not separately listed, so no public market capitalization is available. Current status: Acquired by eToro in 2022; the Gatsby app is not treated here as a separate active broker.

Profile
What you can trade
Gatsby through eToro supports U.S. stocks, ETFs and listed options, with additional instruments limited to the specific disclosures and permissions of this brokerage rather than a universal product catalog.
Account types
Gatsby through eToro builds its account lineup around individual brokerage and IRAs. Business, trust, estate or custodial ownership must be confirmed against the broker’s registration documents before publication. The registration structure reflects the fact that the service is a legacy options app acquired by eToro rather than a current standalone brokerage.
Platform
Gatsby through eToro provides web and mobile account access; desktop software, APIs and third-party integrations are available only where specifically supported. The resulting workflow is tailored to a business that is a legacy options app acquired by eToro rather than a current standalone brokerage.
Who it suits
Best suited to Gatsby through eToro customers whose principal requirement is the capability described in this profile, rather than investors choosing a broker only because of a zero-commission headline.
Where it is offered
Gatsby through eToro accepts eligible U.S. customers subject to state-by-state product licensing and also operates internationally through separate affiliates. A foreign version of the platform should not be assumed to offer the same products or safeguards.
