IBKR now offering Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum etc.

Any idea if and when will this be rolled out for non US customers ?

Lots of regulatory and legal hurdles to work through as it varies by regulator and country. We're working it but it will be a while unfortunately.

Why would anyone prefer to have their crypto confiscated on a whim, instead of trading via a decentralized Exchange? Or even via Coinbase, which doesn't do this "for any other reason in our sole and absolute discretion" shit.[1]

Why would anyone HODL with IB and pay dormancy fees and risk having their crypto confiscated, instead of using a hardware wallet?
