Interactive Brokers Adds Ethereum Staking Through Zerohash

The significance here is less about staking itself than about distribution: a mainstream brokerage folding native ETH yield into an existing portal lowers the operational barrier for clients who already hold crypto there, rather than pushing them toward separate on-chain wallets or third-party staking platforms. The eligibility caveat, determined by the firm, leaves the real addressable market unclear, as does the absence of any disclosed fee split between the broker and zerohash. Whether other full-service brokerages follow with comparable in-portal staking is the open question worth watching.
