This new option removes the limitations of traditional bank transfers. Clients can now instantly deposit funds and trade around the clock, including weekends and holidays.

“Stablecoin deposits offer international investors the speed and flexibility needed in today’s markets,” noted Interactive Brokers CEO Milan Galik.

The integration is implemented through the B2B infrastructure provider for cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, Zerohash. 

Users can send USDC from their addresses on the Ethereum, Solana, or Base networks to the service’s secure wallet. The token is then automatically converted into US dollars and credited to the client’s brokerage account.

The transaction fee is 0.3% (minimum $1), excluding blockchain transaction fees.

Next week, Interactive Brokers plans to add support for Ripple’s RLUSD and PYUSD from PayPal. In July 2025, media reported that the broker was considering launching its own stablecoin. 

Founded in 1978, the firm launched cryptocurrency trading in late 2021 through a partnership with Paxos. Initially, clients had access to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash.

In 2022, the company introduced 24/7 trading, and in 2025, it added popular altcoins, including Solana and XRP.

Previously, Interactive Brokers founder Thomas Peterffy recommended allocating 2-3% of capital to Bitcoin, but no more than 10%.
