Interactive Brokers, a big name in online stock trading, is now letting people put money into their accounts using stablecoins. These digital coins get automatically changed into US dollars.
To make this happen, they’ve teamed up with zerohash, a crypto company. Thanks to them, you can now fund your account 24/7 with USDC on the Ethereum, Solana, and Base blockchains. This means you don’t have to depend on regular bank transfers or worry about bank hours.
Interactive Brokers said that when you deposit stablecoins, they switch them to US dollars right away and put the money in your account. They’re also planning to support Ripple USD and PayPal USD next week.
The company started letting regular investors use USDC to fund their accounts last December. Before that, they were even thinking about creating their own stablecoin, according to reports.

Interactive Brokers Sees Stablecoins as Faster Gateway to Global Markets
Interactive Brokers considers that stablecoins might be the key to faster global markets.
The financial service might win its battle with the towering age of the global currency transfers by incorporating such stablecoins as Dollar’s digital incarnation.
The broker suggests that employing stablecoins, one might just be able to “fund” things sooner than ever, at less expense, and around the clock. Thus, this situation helps intermediaries to carry out transactions and to get in and out of the market quickly.
Milan Galik mentions that stablecoins allow investment to be speedy and very flexible. In his view, the investors can move the capital and start trading within a couple of minutes and, at the same time, save a lot on transaction fees.

The aforementioned statements reflect the increasing popularity of stablecoins. For the first time, their overall value exceeded $300 billion in October. This increase is mainly due to Tether’s USDT, USDC, and Ethena Labs’ USDe.
As per DefiLlama’s estimates, the total value of all stablecoins last Friday was above $310 billion.
