The practicality of stablecoins is continuously expanding, and this time it involves the布局 of traditional financial giants.
IBKR Interactive Brokers recently announced a new move—supporting users to directly deposit USDC through the three mainstream networks of Ethereum, Solana, and Base, with trading fees controlled at 0.3%. For institutional investors accustomed to traditional financial channels, this is equivalent to opening a new door.
Why is this noteworthy? Because it signifies that traditional financial institutions are beginning to take the infrastructure of the crypto ecosystem seriously. Multi-chain support means users have more flexibility, allowing smooth entry and exit regardless of which network they operate on. The 0.3% fee rate also indicates that cost competitiveness is taking shape.
Of course, regulation has also kept pace—funds deposited via stablecoins will be subject to anti-money laundering monitoring, which not only protects user compliance but also reassures institutional investors.
From the indifference towards privacy coins like DASH and ZEC, to the hot popularity of high-speed chains like SOL, and now to stablecoins becoming a bridge connecting traditional finance and the crypto world, the evolution of the market is becoming increasingly clear.

0.3% this fee rate, really not a big deal, it should have been like this a long time ago

Huh? IBKR is really starting to compete in stablecoins, and a 0.3% fee rate is really aggressive.
The traditional financial giants are finally choosing USDC. Will TradFi soon also need to comply with regulations?

IBKR's move is really clever; traditional financial giants are finally starting to take it seriously. The 0.3% fee rate is indeed competitive, and multi-chain support has alleviated many institutional concerns. Using stablecoins as a bridge is becoming an increasingly solid strategy.

Damn, IBKR is really getting serious now, making it even easier for institutions to enter... But honestly, a 0.3% fee isn't exactly cheap.

Stablecoins are the ultimate winners, privacy coins should have faded long ago. It seems this is indeed the logic now.
---
Multi-chain support is pretty attractive, definitely better than being stuck on just one chain... However, anti-money laundering monitoring feels like it’s disrupting something.
---
Traditional finance is starting to get serious, this wave of stablecoins is about to take off completely.
---
Wait, IBKR is already doing this so quickly? I thought we’d have to wait another two months.
---
Adding anti-money laundering monitoring feels like it reduces some freedom, but compliance is definitely what institutional investors care about.

In nicer terms, it’s a bridge; in less nice terms, it’s being domesticated... but it’s definitely more practical.
