Interactive Brokers launches Ethereum staking service for eligible clients

Interactive Brokers announced on October 13, 2026 that eligible US clients can now stake Ethereum through its platform. Staking means locking up cryptocurrency to help secure a blockchain network, and earning rewards in return. Clients use a dashboard to submit requests and track their transactions. Rewards are automatically added to their staked amount, so earnings can grow over time. The service is provided with a company called Zerohash, which places the assets with Ethereum validators. Combined fees are capped at 30% of rewards, and there is no fee if clients earn nothing. CEO Milan Galik compared it to the company's existing Stock Yield Enhancement Program. The staking service sits alongside stocks, options, and futures in one unified account.
