Interactive Brokers has expanded its cryptocurrency offering by adding Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), and Dogecoin (DOGE) to its trading platform. The additions come more than three years after the firm first launched crypto trading services with Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
Eligible clients in the U.S. and U.K. can now trade the newly listed tokens 24/7 through the same platform used for stocks, options, futures, forex, and mutual funds across more than 160 global markets. The move allows investors to establish spot positions in the added assets and hedge exposure using crypto futures, ETFs, and options.
SOL, ADA, XRP, and DOGE are available via Zero Hash LLC, a registered Money Service Business and regulated Money Transmitter operating in 51 U.S. jurisdictions. SOL is also available to clients with accounts at Paxos Trust Company. Interactive Brokers does not handle the underlying blockchain infrastructure directly, instead relying on partners such as Zero Hash and Paxos to enable crypto trading, custody, and settlement.
“Adding these new tokens gives our clients even more flexibility to diversify their portfolios and take advantage of opportunities across digital assets,” said Steve Sanders, executive vice president of marketing and product development at Interactive Brokers.
Platform Tools and Features
Interactive Brokers said the platform offers a unified interface displaying balances and positions across asset classes, simplifying portfolio management. Clients can withdraw their crypto assets to external wallets and place non-marketable limit orders for greater control over execution. Trading is available around the clock.
The brokerage emphasized its cost structure as a key advantage over competitors. Commissions range from 0.12% to 0.18% of trade value, with a minimum of $1.75 per order. No added spreads, markups, or custody fees are applied. “Combined with our low-cost structure and powerful trading tools, this expansion reflects our ongoing commitment to offering clients a comprehensive and efficient trading experience,” Sanders said.
The expansion follows the firm’s initial crypto rollout in September 2021, when it partnered with Paxos during a period of peak market activity. That launch enabled users to trade BTC, ETH, LTC, and BCH for the first time, supplementing previous access to CME bitcoin futures contracts.
Founded in 1977 by Thomas Peterffy, Interactive Brokers reported $16.6 billion in equity capital as of March 1. Initially skeptical of cryptocurrencies, Peterffy later disclosed that he had invested in digital assets because “you have to play the odds.”
The listing of XRP, SOL, and ADA also aligns with cryptocurrencies identified by President Trump for inclusion in a proposed U.S. Digital Assets Stockpile.
