IBKR offers clients a way to trade cryptocurrencies alongside stocks, options, futures, currencies, bonds, and funds across more than 150 exchanges and market centers in 33 countries.
To ensure cryptocurrencies remain a complement to our core business, we will limit clients from opening new cryptocurrency positions above certain thresholds (see below) through any IBKR-linked Cryptocurrency Service Providers (“Crypto Accounts”). In addition, clients will be limited from transferring cash to their Crypto Accounts if client's assets in their Crypto Account exceeds the thresholds (see limits below).
Clients will be allowed to open positions in their Crypto Accounts up to the limits specified below. However, clients will be limited to closing transactions if the value of their cryptocurrency position(s) exceeds the lesser of the following limits:
- 30% of your total account equity across your Securities brokerage and Cryptocurrency Account(s)
- USD 3,000,000.
Examples:
If total account equity = USD 250,000, cryptocurrency limit is USD 75,000 (30% of total account equity).
If total account equity = USD 15,000,000, cryptocurrency limit is USD 3,000,000 (lesser of USD 4,500,000 and USD 3,000,000).
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.
