Interactive Brokers Joins Hands with Zero Hash to Enhance Crypto Trading

Interactive Brokers (IBKR), a US-based automated global electronic broker, has built a partnership with Zero Hash, the leading crypto infrastructure platform, to reinforce its crypto trading and custody services leveraging Zero Hash's full-stack API.

Already in 2021, Interactive Brokers participated in Zero Hash's Series D fundraise.

During this new collaboration, Zero Hash manages the complexity of custody, liquidity and licensing of digital assets while Interactive Brokers manages the client interaction.

Utilizing Zero Hash's solution, Interactive Brokers allows its clients to buy, sell and hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin through an account they open with Zero Hash, and enable them to access robust liquidity, crypto custody and market data.

"Since 2021, clients of Interactive Brokers have been able to trade cryptocurrency alongside the many other asset classes we offer, and the collaboration with Zero Hash underscores our dedication to providing clients the ability to seamlessly allocate part of their portfolio to cryptocurrency," said Milan Galik, Chief Executive Officer of Interactive Brokers.

"IBKR was one of the leading FinTechs before the term even existed, having been founded in the 1970s and has become one of the most valuable companies in the world," said Edward Woodford, Zero Hash Founder and CEO. "We are pleased that IBKR became a shareholder and partner, cementing Zero Hash as the most trusted and sophisticated B2B2C crypto-as-a-service infrastructure."

Early this month, Fazzaco reported that Interactive Brokers experienced an overall decrease in key performance metrics in August 2023​.
