What happened
Interactive Brokers, which manages more than $903 billion in client assets, launched Ethereum staking on October 13. The feature is available to eligible Interactive Brokers LLC clients through the broker's Client Portal.
Zerohash provides the staking infrastructure while clients submit requests and track activity through IBKR's platform. Customers can use the Staking Dashboard to request staking or unstaking and monitor pending activity. Earned rewards are added to the staked crypto balance and can compound while the position remains staked.
Chief executive Milan Galik compared the staking launch to Interactive Brokers' existing Stock Yield Enhancement Program, which allows clients to receive additional income on shares they own. Galik stated the firm wanted clients to earn more from the assets they hold.
