Users who enable Crypto Plus trading permissions can use the Cryptocurrency Service Providers web app instead of the IBKR trading platforms to trade cryptocurrencies. The web app is accessible from TWS, Client Portal, IBKR Mobile and IBKR GlobalTrader.
Additionally, Crypto Plus trading permissions:
- Allow 24/7 cryptocurrency trading access.
- Allow you to transfer and hold USD in your Cryptocurrency Service Providers account.
- Support non-marketable buy limit orders.
NOTE
- Once you have enabled the Crypto Plus trading permission, all crypto buy orders require pre-funding of your Cryptocurrency Service Providers account. Transfer USD from your IBKR account into your Cryptocurrency Service Providers account using the Transfer Funds command in the web app.
All exchange and custody services in connection with trading and holding cryptocurrency tokens and other digital asset tokens through IBKR trading platforms are provided by Cryptocurrency Service Providers. Learn more.
