Interactive Brokers has announced the launch of crypto-asset trading for eligible retail investors in the EEA through Interactive Brokers Ireland Limited, an authorized crypto-asset service provider in the region. While many European investors struggle to juggle multiple applications, decipher opaque fee structures or allay security concerns, Interactive Brokers now provides a dedicated solution.
Starting today, eligible EEA retail investors can trade 11 major cryptoassets directly on the platform they already use for stocks, options, futures, forex, bonds and mutual funds. This integrated approach provides clients with a unified view of their entire portfolio. With a single identifier, they can manage both their traditional and digital assets, while benefiting from the control, competitive pricing and global scale that Interactive Brokers is known for.
Clients trading cryptoassets via the Interactive Brokers platform can: operate 24/7, access simple and transparent pricing with commissions starting between 0.12% and 0.18% of the transaction value, and avoid hidden spreads, markups or custody fees. They can also place limit orders to control their execution prices. Through secure integration with Zero Hash, Interactive Brokers provides access to 11 leading cryptoassets: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Chainlink (LINK), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), Ripple (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), Avalanche (AVAX) and Sui (SUI). Cryptoasset trading is available through IBKR’s software suite, including Trader Workstation, IBKR Desktop, Client Portal, IBKR Mobile and IBKR GlobalTrader. This allows customers to access digital assets with the tools and technology they already trust.
This launch demonstrates Interactive Brokers’ commitment to supporting investors in managing their portfolios more efficiently, whether trading stocks, exploring crypto-assets or investing in global markets.
