Stablecoins Target a Major Global Investing Pain Point

[nihalsari]

According to Interactive Brokers, stablecoins solve a long-standing issue for international investors: slow and expensive cross-border funding. CEO Milan Galik said stablecoin rails allow clients to move capital and begin trading within minutes, cutting both settlement time and transaction costs compared with fiat wires.

The move comes as stablecoins see rapid global adoption. Interactive Brokers has offered crypto trading since 2021, including assets like Bitcoin and Ether, and expanded listings in 2025. With the stablecoin market now exceeding $310 billion in total capitalization, their role as financial infrastructure—rather than just crypto tools—is becoming increasingly clear.
