Yes, you can, but first make sure there is no cash balance, open positions or pending orders at your IBKR-linked Cryptocurrency Service Provider account. Quick steps:
- Be sure you have no USD balance being held in your Cryptocurrency Service Provider account. If you do have a balance, you can transfer USD from your IBKR-linked Cryptocurrency Service Provider account to your IBKR securities brokerage account in IBKR Client Portal, or by using the Transfer Funds command in the Cryptocurrency Service Provider web app.
- Ensure that you have no open cryptocurrency orders at Cryptocurrency Service Provider.
