Promote with Leviathan NewseToro is buying Zengo, the MPC-based keyless wallet with 2M+ users and zero hacks since its 2018 launch, for $70M according to Bloomberg. The deal gives eToro's 40M-user brokerage a self-custody stack to expand into tokenized assets, prediction markets, and perpetuals — a clear signal the CeFi giant sees onchain infrastructure as table stakes. Zengo's multi-party computation architecture eliminates seed phrases entirely, which could be a meaningful UX unlock if properly integrated across eToro's retail user base.
