Interactive Brokers Embraces USDC for U.S. Retail, Streamlining Account Funding
Interactive Brokers has launched a phased rollout allowing U.S. retail clients to fund individual brokerage accounts with stablecoins, leveraging Zerohash's crypto infrastructure. The feature enables direct transfers from personal crypto wallets, bypassing traditional banking delays.
USDC deposits are automatically converted to U.S. dollars upon arrival, with support for multiple blockchain networks including Ethereum, Solana, and Base. The MOVE signals growing institutional adoption of stablecoins as a liquidity solution.
Global clients gain expanded access to dollar-denominated accounts through this program. Interactive Brokers emphasizes the operational efficiency gains over legacy settlement systems, particularly for time-sensitive trading strategies.
