Both Bitcoin.com and Crypto.news confirm that Interactive Brokers has launched Ethereum staking services powered by Zerohash. They agree that the service is accessible through IBKR's Client Portal and that the company oversees substantial client assets, though reported figures vary ($964.7B from Bitcoin.com vs $903B from Crypto.news).

Interactive Brokers (IBKR), a major brokerage firm with client assets exceeding $900 billion, has announced the launch of 
Ethereum (ETH) staking services in partnership with Zerohash. This new offering allows eligible customers to stake ETH directly through IBKR's Client Portal, expanding the company's cryptocurrency services beyond trading and custody.
The integration with Zerohash, a crypto infrastructure provider, enables IBKR to offer staking rewards on Ethereum holdings. This development comes as part of IBKR's broader strategy to enhance its digital asset offerings, which currently include trading in 20 cryptocurrencies.
Multiple outlets corroborate the core details of the announcement, though there are slight discrepancies in the reported client asset figures. 
Bitcoin.com states that IBKR oversees $964.7 billion in client equity, while Crypto.news reports a slightly lower figure of $903 billion. Both outlets agree that the service is accessible via IBKR's Client Portal and that Zerohash is the technology provider.
The move into staking represents a strategic shift for IBKR, which has traditionally focused on traditional brokerage services. By incorporating staking, the company is tapping into growing demand for crypto yield-generating products. This development also underscores the increasing institutional adoption of Ethereum, which remains the leading smart contract platform.
