Interactive Brokers Brings Stablecoins Into Mainstream Trading

[cryptobro]

Interactive Brokers has expanded its crypto capabilities by allowing clients to fund their brokerage accounts using stablecoins that are automatically converted into U.S. dollars. Through a partnership with zerohash, users can now deposit USDC 24/7 across the Ethereum, Solana, and Base networks—removing delays caused by banking hours and traditional wire transfers.

Once received, stablecoin deposits are instantly converted into dollars and credited directly to trading accounts, enabling investors to act within minutes. The brokerage also confirmed that support for Ripple USD and PayPal USD is expected soon, signaling a broader embrace of stablecoins as a practical funding rail for global investors.
