NEW TOOLS

CME Group Micro Bitcoin Futures Contracts Available at IBKR

Interactive Brokers now offers access to CME Group Micro Bitcoin futures contracts. At 1/10 the size of one bitcoin, Micro Bitcoin futures (MBT) provide an efficient, cost-effective way to fine-tune bitcoin exposure and enhance your trading strategies. Enjoy the features of Bitcoin futures (BTC) in a smaller slice that gives active traders more choices for managing bitcoin price risk.

  • TRADE A SLICE OF BITCOIN FUTURES:
    Get the same features as the larger five-bitcoin contract, at 1/50 of its contract size, settled to the regulated CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate (MBT).
  • PRICE DISCOVERY AND TRANSPARENCY:
    Trade on a regulated exchange and enjoy the price discovery of transparent futures, where all participants see the same prices and quotes.
  • PRECISELY SCALE BITCOIN EXPOSURE:
    Add more control over the amount of bitcoin exposure in your trading strategies.
  • CAPITAL EFFICIENCY IN CRYPTO TRADING:
    Save on potential margin offsets with Bitcoin futures and options and Ether futures, plus add the efficiency of futures contracts.

If you already have Futures trading permissions, you can trade CME Group Micro Bitcoin Futures.

To trade from Trader Workstation (TWS), create an order ticket, type "MBT" in the Financial Instrument search field, enter your order details, and click "Transmit."

From Portal, click Trade > Futures, search for "MBT", enter all order details, and click "Submit Buy Order" to place the trade.

If you would like to request Futures trading permissions, log in to the Settings > Account Settings – Trading Experience & Permissions page in Client Portal.

Request Futures Trading Permission

PLEASE NOTE AT THIS TIME INTERACTIVE BROKERS PROVIDES LIMITED ACCESS TO CRYPTO-RELATED PRODUCTS. ELIGIBILITY TO TRADE IN CRYPTO-RELATED PRODUCTS MAY VARY BASED ON JURISIDICTION. TRADING IN CRYPTO-RELATED PRODUCTS IS ESPECIALLY RISKY AND IS ONLY FOR CLIENTS WITH A HIGH RISK TOLERANCE AND THE FINANCIAL ABILITY TO SUSTAIN LOSSES.

Options and Futures: Options and Futures are not suitable for all investors. The amount you may lose may be greater than your initial investment.

Although the size of the Micro bitcoin contracts is 1/10th the size of their classic bitcoin counterparts, pricing may not exactly track the pricing of the bitcoin futures.

Stock Yield Enhancement Program

REMINDER

Earn Extra Income on Fully Paid Shares in the Stock Yield Enhancement Program

Interactive Brokers' ("IB LLC") Stock Yield Enhancement Program allows you to earn extra income on fully paid shares of stock in your account*. Under the program, IB LLC borrows shares of stock from you and provides you with collateral until those shares are returned. While the shares are on loan, you earn a percentage of the loan income generated from IB LLC on-lending your shares.

Interactive Brokers manages all aspects of share lending. While your shares are on loan you still own the stock, which means you continue to have market risk and will recognize any profit (or loss) if the stock price moves. You can sell your shares at any time without restriction and can terminate your participation at any time for any reason.

To participate in the Program:

  • Log in to Client Portal
  • Navigate to Settings > Account Settings (Home page footer)
  • Click the "Configure" icon for "Stock Yield Enhancement Program"
  • Click the check box to enroll in the program
  • Click Continue
  • Review disclosures and sign agreement
  • Click Continue

*Not all clients are eligible to participate in the Stock Yield Enhancement Program. Currently, clients of IB Europe SARL, IB India, IB Australia and IB Japan are NOT eligible. Clients of IB LLC, IB Canada, IB Hong Kong, and IB UK are eligible, as are Japanese and Indian clients who trade with IB LLC.

LEARN MORE ABOUT SRI PORTFOLIOS

Disclosures:
These portfolios use an Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance ("ESG") investment strategy. Such a strategy could limit the types and number of investment opportunities available to these portfolios, lead the portfolios to underperform a portfolio without an ESG focus or with a distinct ESG focus, and result in the portfolios investing in securities or industry sectors that underperform the market as a whole or foregoing opportunities to invest in securities that might otherwise be advantageous to invest in. Interactive Advisors could also be unsuccessful in creating a portfolio composed of companies that exhibit positive ESG characteristics.

The construction of the Socially Responsible Investing Portfolios reduces but does not eliminate exposure to companies that investors interested in socially responsible investing may consider to be undesirable. ESG investing is qualitative and subjective by nature, and there is no guarantee that the criteria utilized, or judgment exercised, by Interactive Advisors will reflect the beliefs or values of any one particular investor. Information regarding the Socially Responsible Investing practices of companies these portfolios invest is obtained through voluntary or third-party reporting, which may not be accurate or complete, and Interactive Advisors is dependent on this information to determine the inclusion of a company in a portfolio (based on its commitment to, or implementation of, socially responsible practices). There is no guarantee that these portfolios will produce returns similar to traditional investments. To review the full risk disclosures for investments in these portfolios, please read this document. Interactive Advisors' most recently updated Form ADV Informational Brochure may be reviewed here, and the Customer Relationship Summary here.

Additional information on the Socially Responsible Investing Portfolio construction process, actual trading results of the Firm-owned account managing the portfolio, and other information on the general features of these portfolios may be found in this white paper, on the individual portfolio pages and the Disclosures for Investments in Specific Portfolio Lines at this location.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and all investments, including those in Interactive Advisors portfolios, involve the risk of loss, including loss of principal and a reduction in earnings.
