Final Summary
Coming from the stable of eToro Group, eToroX already has a high standard that has been set for it to attain. The exchange is coming a little late into an increasingly crowded space but may find some joy from referring existing eToro clientele to the new crypto exchange.
Some improvement needs to be made to its user interface to make navigation and trading easier.
