Best Bitcoin ETF Brokers for 2026

Company	Overall Rating	Minimum Deposit	Bitcoin (BTC)	ETF
IG		£1	Yes	Yes

With commission-free trading for U.S. shares when you trade at least three times per month with “instant currency conversion” enabled, IG is my top choice for investing in Bitcoin ETFs in 2026. This, combined with IG’s ability to handle large orders and deliver reliable execution, makes it overall one of the best forex brokers. That said, if you trade less than three times per month, costs could be a factor for U.S. stocks.

Bitcoin ETFs at IG: Bitcoin ETFs available at IG include Hasdex Bitcoin ETF (DEFI.P), Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCO.Z), Franklin Bitcoin ETF (EZBC.Z), Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB.P), ARK 21 Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB.Z), Jacobi FT Wilshire Bitcoin ETF (BCOIN.AS), and over 2000 other ETFs across global exchanges.

Bitcoin CFDs: You can trade Bitcoin ETFs as share CFDs at IG, which can be helpful when you want to employ leverage or take a short position.

Commission-free US Shares: IG is a great choice for investing in ETFs; if you are day trading or active with your ETF trading – you’ll avoid paying commissions on U.S. stocks in certain circumstances.

Example: If you hold multi-currency accounts and you opt for the default “instant currency conversion” setting, you can take advantage of a commission-free rate for U.S. shares if you place more than three trades in a month. Manually converting your currencies will incur a fee of 2 cents per share, with a minimum charge of $15 per trade for U.S. shares. If you trade less than three times a month, commissions are 10 GBP per trade for U.S. shares.

Note: IG adds a markup of 0.5% to its conversion rate when you buy or sell shares priced in currencies that are different than your account currency.

Custody fees: IG charges a custody fee of 24 GBP per quarter, regardless of your portfolio size. However, this can be waived if you place at least three trades in a month. You can also have this fee waived if you have at least 15,000 GBP in an IG Smart Portfolio account.

Interactive Brokers		$0	Yes	Yes

Interactive Brokers is a great choice for retail and professional traders who want to trade ETFs, Bitcoin ETFs, underlying (physical) Bitcoin, and Bitcoin futures. It’s worth noting that costs can vary, depending on your country of residence and available account types.

IBKR offers U.S. residents zero dollar commissions for trading U.S. stocks and ETFs via its IBKR Lite account. For non-U.S. residents, the default IBKR Pro account has very low per share commission rates starting at $0.0035 per share and the option for tiered pricing, which can drop to as low as $0.0005 per share for high volume traders. Additionally, certain ETFs have zero commission rates or part of its rebate program that can offset costs.

Bitcoin ETFs at Interactive Brokers: Bitcoin ETFs at IBKR include Coinshares Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund (BRRR), iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), and Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC). Interactive Brokers also offers a slew of additional ETFs beyond these that just track the spot price for various leveraged or bitcoin-linked strategies like 2x daily exposure to Bitcoin (BITX - 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF) or investing in bitcoin futures (BITO - ProShares Bitcoin ETF). Note that these leveraged ETFs are for more sophisticated investors and may require your IBKR account to be approved in advance to trade them.

No-fee ETFs: IBKR offers a list of ETFs that are either commission-free or reimburse transaction fees when you hold an ETF position for at least 30 days, as part of its no transaction fee (NTF) program. For example, Franklin Templeton ETFs are included in its commission-free program, which means you can trade the Franklin Bitcoin ETF (EZBC.Z) commission free at IBKR, across both IBKR Pro and IBKR Lite accounts.

Saxo		$0	Yes	Yes

Saxo offers exchange-traded securities across global markets, CFD trading on shares, and over 7,000 ETFs to choose from (including Bitcoin ETFs).

Overall, Saxo is most ideal for trading underlying Bitcoin ETFs, when you are opted into its securities lending program, in order to avoid custody fees and keep per trade commissions low (compared to its CFD trading which can be more expensive).

U.S. Bitcoin ETFs: For U.S. exchanges, Saxo charges a minimum of $1 per trade or 0.08% of the trade value for Classic account holders, whereas on its Platinum and VIP account the rate drops to 0.05% and 0.03% respectively.

Custody fees: Custody fees at Saxo can vary, but are waived if you opt into Saxo’s securities lending program. Classic account holders can expect to pay a 0.15% custody fee if not opted in to Saxo’s securities lending program. For VIP clients, that amount drops to 0.09% per year.

Bitcoin ETF CFD trading costs: Trading costs for CFDs range from a minimum $7 per trade or 0.06% for U.S. stocks and ETFs for Classic account holders. This can drop as low as $3 per trade or 0.04% for VIP account holders.
