Interactive Brokers has expanded its crypto offering with nine additional tokens and two-way stablecoin transfers. The company announced clients can now trade nine new tokens through Zero Hash: Aave, Aptos, Canton, Lido DAO, Monad, NEAR Protocol, Plasma, Pax Gold and Uniswap, with three assets (Aave, Uniswap, Pax Gold) also available through Paxos Trust Company. The rollout adds stablecoin transfers to external wallets, with USDC deposits supported through Zero Hash and two-way transfers available for eligible U.S. clients including USDC, PYUSD and RLUSD. Interactive Brokers operates as one of the largest U.S. brokerage platforms with millions of accounts trading stocks, options, futures, bonds, currencies, funds and crypto from unified account environments.
Interactive Brokers Adds Nine Tokens Through Regulated Partners
The nine new tokens broaden the platform beyond existing assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. Aave and Uniswap provide exposure to decentralized finance infrastructure. Aptos, NEAR and Monad represent Layer 1 blockchain ecosystems. Lido DAO offers exposure to liquid staking, while Pax Gold links crypto rails to tokenized physical gold.
Crypto trading on the platform is offered through regulated partners including Paxos Trust Company and Zero Hash. Interactive Brokers states Paxos is regulated by the New York Department of Financial Services, while Zero Hash is registered with FinCEN as a money-services business, holds money-transmitter licenses in multiple states and has received a New York BitLicense.
Interactive Brokers states crypto trades through Paxos or Zero Hash carry commissions of 0.12% to 0.18% of trade value, with a $1.75 minimum order and no added spreads or markups. The structure provides crypto exposure without operating as a standalone offshore exchange, offering traditional investors a familiar interface integrated with portfolio management, cash balances and other asset classes.
Interactive Brokers Enables Two-Way Stablecoin Transfers for Account Funding
The stablecoin transfer feature allows clients to fund and move value through stablecoins, connecting traditional brokerage accounts to 24/7 blockchain settlement rails. Interactive Brokers said clients can fund accounts and move capital using stablecoins, with USDC deposits supported through Zero Hash.
Founder Thomas Peterffy previously said the company was considering stablecoin-based account funding and broader crypto asset transfers, while emphasizing caution around cryptocurrency valuations. The implementation reflects wider trends across financial markets where stablecoins are increasingly used for payments, treasury management and cross-border settlement.
For brokerage clients, stablecoin transfers reduce friction when moving capital between wallets, exchanges and investment accounts, especially outside normal banking hours. The expansion shows large retail and professional trading platforms view digital assets and stablecoins as part of broader financial market architecture.
