Interactive Brokers Unveils Stablecoin Rails, Slashes Crypto Trading Costs

Interactive Brokers has made significant strides in expanding its digital asset footprint by introducing nine new trading tokens and unveiling bidirectional account funding through stablecoins. The company aims to streamline how global investors manage cryptocurrency positions alongside traditional equities, options, and futures contracts.

The Connecticut-based brokerage firm added 12 digital assets and enabled 24/7 stablecoin wallet transfers on July 14, 2026. IBKR fees starting at 0.12% undercut high-cost brokers by 85%, capturing institutional crypto volume.

Interactive Brokers' CEO, Milan Galik, emphasized that as stablecoins become a more widely used method of payment and transfer, the firm remains focused on providing seamless digital asset access alongside a diverse range of global products.
