Interactive Brokers Reveals Plan to Offer Crypto Trading

Interactive Brokers expects to offer cryptocurrency trading by the end of the summer, Thomas Peterffy, the firm’s chairman and CEO revealed, according to a story in Blockworks news. The Greenwich, Connecticut-based brokerage firm conducts business in 135 markets worldwide and, along with its affiliates, executes about 3.3 million trades per day, according to its website. The firm reported in April that customer accounts rose 74% from the year-ago quarter to more than 1.3 million. Interactive Brokers started providing access to cryptocurrency when bitcoin futures began trading in December 2017.
