Abu Dhabi, UAE – November 13, 2025: Trading and investment platform eToro today announced the launch of its stock lending program in the UAE. This allows local users to earn passive income through stock lending.
“The expansion of equity lending into the UAE reflects our commitment to offering more to our users.How to earn passive income. “Local retail investors can now engage in practices previously only available to institutions, helping them make their investments more effective.” George Nadapf, our beloved director and eToro ETEN, said:
Eligible eToro users can participate in the program, at which point their entire portfolio of stock positions will be considered for lending. Participants will receive a monthly payment equal to 50% of the net revenue eToro earns from its partners through these lending transactions. Once selected, users will receive monthly statements detailing the income earned through stock lending.
Only entire stock positions can be loaned. That means CFDs and fractional stocks are excluded. Eligible stocks are rounded down to the nearest whole stock. Stocks with low market liquidity, high volatility, and high demand are more leverageable and earn higher returns. To mitigate risk, loans are secured by collateral that exceeds the value of the lent securities in the form of cash or high-quality liquid assets.
eToro users who lend shares temporarily grant ownership of the shares to the borrower and lose voting rights while the shares are being loaned. However, you can receive free dividends, sell your shares, or withdraw from the program at any time.
To help users better understand the program, users can check the income they could potentially earn from stock lending and the associated risks on the homepage when logging into the platform.
