Similar to how our Stock Yield Enhancement Program allows clients to earn additional income on shares they own, staking gives clients an opportunity to earn rewards on the cryptocurrency they own. We want clients to earn more from the assets they hold.
– Milan Galik, Chief Executive Officer of Interactive Brokers
Staking rewards compound automatically as additional cryptocurrency while positions remain staked. The move extends Interactive Brokers‘ existing crypto capabilities, which include support for 20 digital assets, stablecoin funding via USDC, RLUSD, and PYUSD, and full transfer flexibility to custodial and non-custodial wallets. Clients can manage crypto holdings alongside stocks, options, futures, bonds, and other assets on a single platform without switching between applications.
