Interactive Brokers enabled 24/7 account funding via USDC, with Ripple’s RLUSD and PayPal’s PYUSD slated for rollout next week; the integration is powered by Zero Hash and supports transfers on Ethereum, Solana, and Base.

This matters because IBKR’s 4.4 million accounts can now bypass ACH and wire cutoffs, securing weekend and after-hours liquidity with near-instant settlement and conversion to USD buying power. The move validates stablecoins as a practical settlement rail in mainstream brokerage workflows and pressures peers to modernize cash operations. By adding RLUSD and PYUSD, IBKR diversifies funding options beyond a single issuer and positions for broader retail and professional adoption of stablecoin rails.

For traders and advisors, faster funding reduces margin usage and funding latency around earnings, IPOs, and macro events, improving execution readiness. For market structure, multi-chain support helps optimize fees and throughput versus single-chain bottlenecks, while Zero Hash provides compliant infrastructure for custody and conversion. Expect asset managers and other broker-dealers to follow with multi-stablecoin, multi-chain support as client expectations shift toward 24/7 liquidity.
