IG Introduces Zero-commission Crypto Trading for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana
Investing and trading platform IG today announces the launch of zero-commission trading on its three most popular cryptocurrencies – Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana – making IG one of the lowest-cost providers in the UK market for crypto.
From today, IG customers trading these cryptocurrencies will pay only a 0.07% external exchange fee charged by IG’s liquidity partner, offering a significant saving versus other well-known platforms.
By removing commission, IG aims to reduce friction in crypto investing, helping both new and existing clients build diversified portfolios more cost-effectively. IG already offers commission-free investing in stocks, ETFs and funds across ISAs, SIPPs and GIAs.
IG UK and Ireland Managing Director Michael Healy said: “We’re building the UK’s most comprehensive low-cost investing experience, giving clients access to a wide range of markets without unnecessary barriers or cost. Removing commission on our three most widely traded cryptocurrencies is a natural step in this journey, helping to make crypto investing more accessible.
“Investors shouldn’t have to choose between value and trust when buying crypto. Now they can access the lowest-cost offering in the UK for Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana through a FTSE 100-listed platform.”
