Interactive Brokers Brings Stablecoins Into Mainstream Trading

[nihalsari]

Interactive Brokers has expanded its crypto offerings by allowing clients to fund brokerage accounts using stablecoins that are automatically converted into US dollars. Through a partnership with zerohash, users can now deposit USD Coin 24/7 across the Ethereum, Solana, and Base blockchains—bypassing traditional banking hours and wire transfer delays.

The firm said deposits are converted into USD upon receipt and credited directly to trading accounts, with support for Ripple USD and PayPal USD expected soon. Interactive Brokers had already enabled limited USDC funding in late 2025, signaling a steady move toward integrating stablecoins into core brokerage infrastructure.
