Interactive Brokers has expanded its crypto services by allowing clients to fund brokerage accounts using stablecoins.
The firm said it partnered with zerohash to support account funding with USDC on the Ethereum, Solana and Base blockchains.
Deposited stablecoins are automatically converted into US dollars and credited to client accounts.
Interactive Brokers said support for additional stablecoins, including Ripple USD and PayPal USD, will be added next week.
The brokerage first enabled USDC funding for retail clients in December as it continued to broaden its digital asset offerings.
The company said stablecoins address a key challenge in global market access by reducing the cost and delay of cross-border transfers.
“Stablecoin funding provides international investors with the speed and flexibility required in today’s markets,”
Milan Galik said.
Interactive Brokers began offering crypto trading in 2021, initially supporting Bitcoin and Ether.
Additional cryptocurrencies, including Solana and XRP, were added to the platform in 2025.
The move follows rapid growth in stablecoin adoption as financial institutions increasingly explore blockchain-based settlement.
At the time of reporting, Ethereum price was $3,308.11.
