Interactive Brokers expanded its service offering for cryptocurrency investors by launching stablecoin withdrawals and adding nine new digital assets to the platform. The new feature allows eligible clients to withdraw dollars from their brokerage accounts through automatic conversion to USDC, PayPal USD (PYUSD), or Ripple USD (RLUSD).
After conversion, the stablecoins can be sent directly to compatible digital wallets. The measure expands the options for those who want to move funds between the brokerage and the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
The launch complements the stablecoin deposit service made available by Interactive Brokers in January. Since then, clients have been able to send USDC and other stablecoins to a wallet operated by Zerohash, where the assets are converted into dollars before being credited to the investment account.
With the new feature, the flow now also works in the opposite direction. Investors can now withdraw dollars from the brokerage and receive them in the form of stablecoins, without needing to use external services to carry out the conversion.
In addition to the expansion of services with stablecoins, Interactive Brokers increased its list of cryptocurrencies available for trading. Through Zerohash's infrastructure, Aave (AAVE), Aptos (APT), Canton, Lido DAO (LDO), Monad, NEAR Protocol (NEAR), Plasma, PAX Gold (PAXG), and Uniswap (UNI) were added.
Among these assets, Aave, Uniswap, and PAX Gold are also available through Paxos Trust Company, offering an additional alternative to investors.
With the new additions, the brokerage now offers 20 cryptocurrencies. The list already included Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), Avalanche (AVAX), Chainlink (LINK), and Sui (SUI).
The expansion comes after the company added Solana, Cardano, XRP, and Dogecoin in March 2025. At the time, the four assets became part of the platform alongside the cryptocurrencies already available for trading.
According to Milan Galik, CEO of Interactive Brokers, the goal is to integrate digital assets with the rest of the financial services offered by the company.
“We believe digital assets should be integrated into the client's broader financial experience, not treated separately.”
Stablecoin deposits and withdrawals operate 24 hours a day, including weekends and holidays. The funds can be used to trade stocks, options, futures, currencies, bonds, funds, cryptocurrencies, and prediction contracts in more than 170 markets around the world.
Cryptocurrency trading fees range between 0,12% and 0,18% of the transaction value, with a minimum charge of US$ 1,75 per order. The brokerage states that it does not apply additional spreads, extra markups, or custody fees.
Eligible clients can also transfer cryptocurrencies between their Interactive Brokers accounts and compatible custodial or self-custody wallets. However, the stablecoin deposit and withdrawal services are not available to clients of the company's units in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The nine new cryptocurrencies also remain unavailable to investors served by the brokerage's Irish division.
