Major move in institutional crypto adoption: Interactive Brokers, one of the world's leading brokerages serving both retail and institutional clients, just rolled out 24/7 USDC funding directly on the Solana network.

What's the big deal? This opens up non-stop access to dollar-backed stablecoin deposits for traders whenever they want—no banking hours, no waiting. The integration taps into Solana's speed and low-cost transaction infrastructure, making it a practical entry point for mainstream investors.

It's another signal that the line between traditional finance and crypto markets keeps blurring. When brokerages of this scale start building on-chain infrastructure, you know the ecosystem is maturing fast.
