Interactive Brokers (Nasdaq: IBKR), an automated global electronic broker, today announced that eligible clients of Interactive Brokers LLC (IB LLC) can now fund their brokerage accounts using stablecoin. This new capability provides near-instant processing and 24/7 availability, including weekends and holidays, enabling clients to deposit funds and begin trading across 170 global markets within minutes of initiating a transfer.

Yes, shitcoin related, however signals a pretty monumental shift....for those who don't know IB is basically the day trading platform for trad stonks, the fact they are accepting stablecoins signals that a move to 24x7 trading is underway, which ultimately benefits Bitcoin.

Withdrawal Hold
Funds are available for withdrawal after 30 business days.

Looks like usdc:

Clients can fund their accounts with USDC, a digital asset backed 1:1 by the US dollar, from their crypto wallet to a secure wallet provided through a collaboration with zerohash. Interactive Brokers plans to add support for Ripple Coin (RLUSD) and PayPal's coin (PYUSD) next week

I know you know that USDC isn’t a blockchain. Zerohash operates across multiple blockchains (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Sui, Polkadot, the Canton Network, and more). Paypal is on ethereum.
