Interactive Brokers launches crypto trading for individual investors in EEA
Electronic trading major Interactive Brokers Group Inc (NASDAQ:IBKR) today announced the launch of crypto-asset trading for eligible individual investors in the European Economic Area (EEA) through Interactive Brokers Ireland Limited.

- Trade crypto-assets 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- Access simple, transparent pricing with commissions starting at 0.12%-0.18% of trade value
- Avoid hidden spreads, markups, or custody fees

- Litecoin (LTC)
- Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
- Chainlink (LINK)
