Interactive Brokers Group Inc. (NASDAQ: IBKR) announced that clients can transfer existing cryptocurrency holdings to their Interactive Brokers-linked crypto accounts without selling their digital assets first.

The feature allows clients to move supported cryptocurrencies directly from external wallets or platforms into IBKR-linked crypto accounts. Clients can then trade cryptocurrencies alongside traditional investments including stocks, options, futures, currencies and bonds on the same platform.

Interactive Brokers charges cryptocurrency trading commissions of 0.12% to 0.18% of trade value with a $1.75 minimum per order and no added spreads or markups. The company states that many crypto platforms charge trading fees of up to 2.00% of trade value or more with additional embedded costs.

"Crypto investors should be able to access competitive crypto pricing and diversified investment opportunities without managing multiple accounts or liquidating their positions," said Milan Galik, chief executive officer of Interactive Brokers.

Eligible clients of Interactive Brokers LLC and Interactive Brokers (U.K.) Limited can transfer Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and other supported cryptocurrencies directly into their IBKR-linked crypto accounts at Paxos or zerohash.

Cryptocurrency trading through Paxos or zerohash is available on the Interactive Brokers platform. Eligibility for cryptocurrency trading or deposits may vary by country of legal residence, according to the company's statement.
