Interactive Brokers launched its X Cashtags integration on 15 September 2026. The US launch adds a route from ticker discussion to IBKR research, existing-account access and new brokerage applications.[1]
For US-based investors, a Cashtag opens market information and discussion around a stock or crypto ticker. Selecting the trade button and Interactive Brokers leads into the broker’s experience, where existing clients can access accounts and new users can apply.[1]
The incentive is tied to funded accounts
US$100 Cashtags promotion: inspected terms
| Condition | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Eligible applicant | New US-resident individual; individual or joint IBLLC account; eligible Cashtag referral routeSource 2 |
| Funding deadline | At least US$2,000 within 60 days after the account is opened and approved for fundingSource 2 |
| Maintenance period | Net deposits less withdrawals must stay at least US$2,000 for six monthsSource 2 |
| Award restriction | One award per household; current group clients and retirement accounts are excludedSource 2 |
| Intermediary relationship | Accounts opened through, assisted by or otherwise connected with an introducing broker, adviser or similar parent account are excluded.Source 2 |
The US$100 credit can be invested after qualifying funding. During the six-month maintenance period, a breach allows IBKR to cancel the award and, if necessary, sell positions to recover it. The offer therefore rewards sustained eligible funding as well as account acquisition.[2]
For example, funding with USD 2,000 and later withdrawing USD 100 leaves net funding of USD 1,900 and can breach the maintenance condition. A market-price fall that leaves the investments worth USD 1,900, with no withdrawal, does not by itself reduce that net-funding measure. This illustration isolates the promotion’s funding test; the other eligibility and maintenance conditions still apply.[2]
An entry point into a broader brokerage workflow
The product page places new-account opening and existing-client access beside the Cashtag experience. Commercially, that gives IBKR two uses for the same distribution channel: converting market interest into applications and bringing existing customers back into their brokerage workflow. The US$2,000 maintenance test attaches a retention condition to the separate promotional award.[3][2]
