Interactive Brokers Launches Ethereum Staking for Eligible Clients via Zero Hash

Interactive Brokers has rolled out cryptocurrency staking starting with Ethereum for eligible clients, partnering with digital asset infrastructure provider Zero Hash. The service allows investors to stake and unstake ETH directly through the brokerage's Client Portal, earning compounding rewards credited as additional staked cryptocurrency without managing validator nodes. Following the announcement, Interactive Brokers shares slipped roughly 1% to trade near $87, though they remain up over 32% year-to-date. The launch follows prior digital asset rollouts, including crypto trading in 2021 and USDC account funding in January 2026.
