Interactive Brokers on October 13 launched Ethereum staking for eligible Interactive Brokers LLC clients, giving them access to a Staking Dashboard within the broker’s Client Portal. The dashboard allows clients to submit requests to stake or unstake ETH and monitor activity that remains pending, according to Interactive Brokers.
The rollout adds a yield-oriented function to the broker’s digital-asset offering, but its initial scope is limited. Ethereum is the only asset explicitly available for staking at launch, and access depends on the relevant Interactive Brokers affiliate and a client’s country of residence.
Interactive Brokers opens an Ethereum staking dashboard
Eligible Interactive Brokers LLC clients can initiate ETH staking and unstaking through the Staking Dashboard in the Client Portal and monitor pending requests alongside existing Interactive Brokers account tools.
The service is available to Interactive Brokers LLC clients, with availability varying by affiliate and client country of residence rather than necessarily extending across the broker’s entire global client base. Ethereum is the only asset explicitly available for staking at launch, and the October 13 announcement did not announce additional staking assets.
Zero Hash supplies the staking infrastructure
The staking service is provided by zerohash, according to Interactive Brokers. When rewards are earned, they are credited as additional staked cryptocurrency, meaning those rewards may compound for as long as the position stays staked.
That structure makes Zero Hash responsible for the underlying service layer while Interactive Brokers supplies the client-facing portal. In June, zerohash said its Staking-as-a-Service product manages validator infrastructure, staking operations, rewards accounting and compliance through a single API integration.
The provider named Interactive Brokers, Public and BitMart as its initial launch partners when it announced that infrastructure on June 25. The statement did not detail the commercial terms of those arrangements or identify a uniform set of staking assets offered by each partner.
“Rewards, when earned, are credited as additional staked cryptocurrency,” Interactive Brokers said in its announcement.
Ethereum is the sole launch asset despite 20 tradable tokens
Interactive Brokers lists 20 supported digital assets for trading. At launch, Ethereum was the only asset explicitly identified as available for staking, The Block reported.
Eligible Interactive Brokers LLC clients can submit ETH staking instructions through the Staking Dashboard in the Client Portal.
Trading and staking are separate product decisions, so the ability to trade a token through Interactive Brokers does not establish that the asset can also be staked through the dashboard. Availability further varies by affiliate and by the client’s country of residence.
The rollout follows Zero Hash’s May Ethereum API launch
Zero Hash had already made Ethereum staking support available through its API before the Interactive Brokers client launch. Its documentation, dated May 21, shows endpoints for submitting ETH staking requests, monitoring positions and initiating unstaking requests.
Those API capabilities align with the functions now presented in Interactive Brokers’ Client Portal. The broker’s dashboard offers a customer-facing layer for stake, unstake and pending-activity requests, while the provider’s service handles the validator and operational infrastructure behind the integration.
The sequence also places the October launch within a broader product buildout by Zero Hash: Ethereum API support went live in May, and the company identified Interactive Brokers as an initial Staking-as-a-Service partner in June. Zero Hash’s May documentation and its June infrastructure announcement describe the service as an API-based offering for platforms seeking to add staking without operating those components directly.
