Interactive claims to offer some of the lowest crypto trading fees among brokerages. It said these range from 0.12% to 0.18% of the total trade value, with a minimum of $1.75 per order. It adds no spreads or markups, the company added. It said that rival trading platforms can charge up to 2% and impose other fees.&#34;By enabling direct crypto portfolio transfers, we're making it easy for traders to benefit from IBKR's low-cost crypto trading and gain access to our full range of global markets within the same professional trading environment,&#34; Interactive quoted its CEO Milan Galik as saying.<h2>Solid timing</h2>Interactive's announcement was well-timed, as Wednesday saw the continuation of a recent (albeit relatively modest) rally in cryptocurrencies. While I don't think the expansion of the company's trading platform is make-or-break for its business, it's certainly a positive development. The more types of transactions a brokerage can offer, the &#34;stickier&#34; it can be for users (this also helps attract new clients). For existing Interactive investors, it'll be worth watching how enthusiastically customers embrace the new crypto trading capabilities.<h2>Should you buy stock in Interactive Brokers Group right now?</h2> Before you buy stock in Interactive Brokers Group, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Interactive Brokers Group wasn’t one of them.
