V (FinTech V), according to a press release shared with <i>CryptoSlate<\/i> today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday marks a momentous milestone for eToro as we embark on our journey to become a publicly-traded company with Betsy Cohen and the team at FinTech V. I want to express my gratitude for the passion, hard work, drive and determination of all of the eToro team members over the past 14 years who have helped make this a reality,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/yoni-assia\/\">Yoni Assia<\/a>, CEO of eToro.<\/p>\n<p>Launched in 2007, eToro introduced a novel concept of \u201csocial trading\u201d which allows traders to \u201ccopy people\u201d and follow their deals. It currently has over 20 million registered users and \u201cits social community is rapidly expanding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apart from stocks and CFDs, eToro also supports investing in cryptocurrencies such as <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/ethereum\/\">Ethereum<\/a>, and many others.<\/p>\n<p>As a publicly-traded firm, FinTech V will act as a \u201cspecial purpose acquisition company\u201d (SPAC) that will acquire eToro. The process is akin to a reverse merger where the publicly-traded buyer effectively \u201cmorphs\u201d into the acquired firm, with the latter inheriting its status.<\/p>\n<h2>What is a SPAC?<\/h2>\n<p>Notably, a SPAC is not a real firm but more of a shell company\u2014or \u201cnothing more than a group of people holding capital with the intention of investing it in the future,\u201d as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etoro.com\/news-and-analysis\/investing\/what-is-a-spac\/\">eToro<\/a> put it. When the transaction is completed, the combined company \u201cwill operate as eToro Group Ltd. and is expected to be listed on NASDAQ,\u201d the press release added. This also means that FinTech V\u2019s current ticker FTCV will be changed to eToro\u2019s.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAs a pioneer in the evolution of SPACs, Fintech Masala, our sponsor platform, seeks out companies with outsized growth, effective controls and excellent management teams. eToro meets all three of these criteria,\u201d added Betsy Cohen, FinTech V\u2019s chairman.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The deal will also include $650 million in equity (at $10 per common share) distributed via private placement\u2014a kind of \u201cclosed sale\u201d for strategic and institutional investors. The buyers will include ION Investment Group, Softbank Vision Fund 2, Third Point LLC, Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC, and Wellington Management.<\/p>\n<p>The SPAC is expected to have around $800 million on its balance sheets \u201cto support future growth.\u201d At the same time, since the resulting public company will be mostly eToro, the trading platform\u2019s shareholders, current investors, and employees will retain around 91% ownership of the entity.<\/p>\n<p>The SPAC IPO will tentatively take place \u201cclose in the third quarter of 2021,\u201d the release added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto-friendly \u201csocial trading and investing\u201d platform eToro will become a publicly-traded firm by merging with FinTech Acquisition Corp.
