Interactive Brokers Group Inc. (NASDAQ:IBKR) said it has introduced crypto-asset trading for eligible retail investors in the European Economic Area through its subsidiary Interactive Brokers Ireland Limited, which is authorized to operate as a crypto-asset service provider in the region.
The new offering enables clients to trade 11 cryptocurrencies — including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Chainlink, Solana, Cardano, Ripple, Dogecoin, Avalanche, and Sui — alongside traditional financial instruments within the same trading platform.
“Our clients want the flexibility to diversify into crypto-assets while maintaining the tools, pricing, and trust they rely on Interactive Brokers for,” said Milan Galik, Chief Executive Officer of Interactive Brokers. “By offering crypto alongside traditional assets on a single platform, clients can manage risk, liquidity, and capital more efficiently across their entire portfolio.”
The crypto trading service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with commissions starting between 0.12% and 0.18% of the trade value. Interactive Brokers said the service includes no hidden spreads, markups, or custody fees, and investors can use limit orders to manage their execution prices.
Crypto trading is supported through a partnership with zerohash, a regulated provider of digital asset and stablecoin infrastructure. The functionality is accessible through Interactive Brokers’ full suite of platforms, including Trader Workstation, IBKR Desktop, Client Portal, IBKR Mobile, and IBKR GlobalTrader.
According to the company, the launch extends its crypto offering to the broader European Economic Area market of roughly 450 million people.
