Interactive Brokers Enables 24/7 Account Funding with Stablecoin

Interactive Brokers Enables 24/7 Account Funding with Stablecoin

New funding option offers near-instant processing, lower transfer costs, and expanded access to markets

GREENWICH, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Interactive Brokers (Nasdaq: IBKR), an automated global electronic broker, today announced that eligible clients of Interactive Brokers LLC (IB LLC) can now fund their brokerage accounts using stablecoin. This new capability provides near-instant processing and 24/7 availability, including weekends and holidays, enabling clients to deposit funds and begin trading across 170 global markets within minutes of initiating a transfer.

Stablecoin funding addresses a critical pain point in accessing global capital markets. Traditional cross-border funding has remained a significant challenge for international investors, particularly in regions where USD wires are expensive, slow, or require multiple correspondent banking relationships.

Stablecoin funding settles near-instantly and operates 24/7 with significantly lower costs than traditional wire transfers. Global clients of IB LLC can now fund their accounts outside of their local business hours and trade immediately — a capability traditional wire transfers cannot accommodate.

“Stablecoin funding provides international investors with the speed and flexibility required in today’s markets. Clients can transfer funds and begin trading within minutes, while also reducing transaction costs,” said Milan Galik, Chief Executive Officer of Interactive Brokers.

Clients can fund their accounts with USDC, a digital asset backed 1:1 by the US dollar, from their crypto wallet to a secure wallet provided through a collaboration with zerohash. Interactive Brokers plans to add support for Ripple Coin (RLUSD) and PayPal’s coin (PYUSD) next week. Once received, the stablecoin is automatically converted into US dollars and credited to the client’s brokerage account.

Interactive Brokers does not charge fees for stablecoin deposits. Clients are responsible for any fees associated with the blockchain network. zerohash applies a low conversion fee of 0.30% per deposit, with a minimum fee of $1.

Stablecoin funding is now available to eligible Interactive Brokers LLC clients. International clients can visit https://ibkr.com/stablecoin to check eligibility, view detailed instructions, and begin funding their accounts 24/7.

(NASDAQ: SDM) between May 5, 2025 and September 26, 2025 at 9:34 AM EST. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 16, 2026.

So what: If you purchased SDM securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 16, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Details of the case: Smart Digital describes itself as a company that provides digital marketing services. According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Smart Digital was the subject of a market manipulation and fraudulent promotion scheme involving social-media based misinformation and impersonators posing as financial professionals; (2) insiders and/or affiliates used and/or intended to use offshore or nominee accounts to facilitate the coordinated dumping of shares during a price inflation campaign; (3) Smart Digital’s public statements and risk disclosures omitted any mention of realized risk of fraudulent trading or market manipulation used to drive Smart Digital’s stock price; (4) as a result, Smart Digital securities were at unique risk of a sustained suspension in trading by either or both of the SEC and NASDAQ; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about Smart Digital’s business, operations and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the SDM class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50638 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

About Adams Funds

Since 1929, Adams Funds has consistently helped generations of investors reach their investment goals. Adams Funds is comprised of two closed-end funds, Adams Diversified Equity Fund, Inc. (NYSE: ADX) and Adams Natural Resources Fund, Inc. (NYSE: PEO). The Funds are actively managed by an experienced team with a disciplined approach and have paid dividends for more than 90 years across many market cycles. The Funds are committed to paying a minimum annual distribution rate of 8% of NAV paid evenly each quarter throughout the year, providing reliability for long-term shareholders. A portion of any distribution may be treated as paid from sources other than net income, including but not limited to short-term capital gain, long-term capital gain, and return of capital. The final determination of the source of all distributions for tax reporting purposes in a calendar year, including the percentage of qualified dividend income, will be made after year-end. Shares can be purchased through our transfer agent or through a broker. For more information about Adams Funds, please visit: adamsfunds.com.
