【Blockchain Rhythm】Interactive Brokers officially announces support for USDC deposits, which means traders can now fund their accounts 24/7 without interruption using cryptocurrencies, breaking the traditional financial trading hours.

The process is straightforward—users transfer USDC from their personal wallets to Zerohash’s custodial wallets on the Ethereum, Solana, or Base networks. The system automatically converts the stablecoins into USD and credits the brokerage account. Each conversion fee is 0.30% of the transfer amount, with a minimum fee of $1.

More interestingly, Interactive Brokers is planning to expand its offerings. As soon as next week, it will add Ripple’s RLUSD and PayPal’s PYUSD, providing users with more options for stablecoins. This move sends a clear signal: mainstream financial institutions are beginning to take cryptocurrencies seriously and are treating stablecoins as formal financial instruments. From a traditional finance perspective, this shift indicates that the infrastructure for cryptocurrencies is continuously improving and that the path toward compliance is indeed being paved.

Interactive Brokers is really stepping up their game, offering 24/7 deposits directly challenging traditional financial business hours. However, there's a 0.30% fee... well, it's acceptable, since it's much faster than bank transfers anyway. What I'm really looking forward to is the new gameplay once Ripple and PayPal stablecoins are integrated.

0.30% fee... sounds like just prolonging traditional finance. 24-hour deposits are indeed satisfying, but essentially it's just converting coins back to USD. These kinds of news are most likely to appear at the cycle top.

Wow, is Interactive Brokers really going all-in on crypto? The 24/7 deposit feature is brilliant, no more waiting for US stock market to open... I can accept the 0.3% fee rate, but I feel like Zerohash is about to get rich again.

A 0.30% fee is a bit stingy, but being able to recharge 24/7 is really awesome.
