Interactive Brokers Expands Digital Asset Portfolio, Adds XRP, Solana, Cardano, and Dogecoin
Reiterating an earlier post by CNF on XRP market momentum—when it was still in question whether it was too late to join the ride—in a significant move for cryptocurrency enthusiasts and investors, Interactive Brokers has expanded its digital asset portfolio by incorporating XRP, Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Dogecoin (DOGE) into its trading platform.
Specifically, this expansion, announced on March 26, 2025, effectively doubles the firm’s cryptocurrency offerings, which previously included Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). As stated in a Finance feeds:
Interactive Brokers is also pushing competitive pricing, with trading fees set between 0.12% and 0.18% of transaction value, subject to a $1.75 minimum — squarely targeting active traders who want exchange-like pricing through a traditional brokerage.
Bridging Traditional and Digital Investments
According to AdvisorHub, Interactive Brokers’ decision to integrate these additional cryptocurrencies reflects a growing institutional acceptance of digital assets.
Clients can now manage a diverse range of investments—including stocks, options, futures, currencies, bonds, and cryptocurrencies—within a unified platform. This integration simplifies the trading experience and allows for seamless portfolio diversification.
XRP’s Enhanced Accessibility
The inclusion of XRP is particularly noteworthy. Known for its rapid transaction speeds and scalability, XRP has long been favored for cross-border payments and remittances.
By adding XRP to its platform, Interactive Brokers significantly increases its accessibility to a broader range of investors, potentially boosting its adoption and liquidity in the market.
Implications for Traders
For traders, this development opens up new opportunities. The addition of XRP and other altcoins enables clients to diversify their crypto holdings and implement varied trading strategies.
Moreover, managing both traditional and digital assets within a single platform allows for more efficient capital allocation and improved risk management.
Current XRP Market Performance
Interactive Brokers’ expansion into a broader array of cryptocurrencies marks a clear trend toward greater institutional adoption in the digital asset space.
As traditional financial institutions increasingly embrace crypto, traders can expect enhanced accessibility and deeper integration of these assets into mainstream investment platforms.
As Ripple eyes a $5 trillion market—highlighted in CNF’s earlier analysis predicting XRP could rocket to $22—XRP is currently trading at approximately $2.37 USD, according to Coin Market Cap data.
This reflects a daily decline of 3.68% and a weekly dip of 5.37%. Despite the short-term pullback, XRP remains a strong contender with a market capitalization exceeding $138 billion USD. See XRP price chart below.
