Overview
- Interactive Brokers, which announced the rollout Tuesday, now lets eligible EEA clients trade 11 cryptocurrencies alongside stocks and other assets in one account with 24/7 access.
- Trading and custody run through Zero Hash, and the service is offered by Interactive Brokers Ireland Limited, an authorized crypto‑asset service provider.
- Fees start at 0.12% to 0.18% of trade value with no spreads or custody markups, and clients can use limit orders across IBKR’s desktop, web, and mobile platforms.
- Account funding now supports USDC deposits on Ethereum, Solana, and Base with automatic conversion to U.S. dollars, and users can move supported coins from external wallets into their IBKR crypto accounts.
- IBKR shares dipped about 0.79% after the news then rose 1.81% pre‑market, and the company frames crypto as a strategic add-on as peers like Fidelity, Schwab, and Morgan Stanley expand similar offerings.
