Interactive Brokers (Nasdaq: IBKR) has launched a 24/7 trading account deposit feature using stablecoin USDC, allowing customers to start trading within minutes and enabling after-hours trading.
According to the announcement, this solution is integrated through Zerohash – a provider of stablecoin and crypto infrastructure for enterprises, supported by Interactive Brokers. USDC is sent from the user’s personal wallet on Ethereum, Solana, or Base networks, then automatically converted to USD and credited to the brokerage account.
CEO Milan Galik stated that using stablecoins helps reduce costs, speed up processing, and provides the flexibility needed for international investors, something that traditional methods like bank transfers cannot offer.
Zerohash applies a conversion fee of 0.30% for each deposit, with a minimum of $1, plus blockchain transaction fees. Interactive Brokers also announced plans to soon add other stablecoins such as Ripple’s RLUSD and PayPal’s PYUSD, as early as next week.
Founded in 1978, Interactive Brokers is one of the largest electronic brokerage firms with low trading costs. The company began offering crypto trading and custody services in 2021 and has expanded its digital asset portfolio in recent years.
