Last updated: 5 October 2026. Checked on a Practice account registered in Brazil on 5 October (the cashier and the withdrawal page), and in the cashiers and IQ Option’s official deposit and withdrawal tables of 12 other countries on 4 and 5 October. We stopped before the terms box and the Proceed to Payment button, so no crypto was sent.
Yes. IQ Option’s cashier accepted deposits in seven cryptocurrencies on every account we opened: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, XRP, Cardano, Tether and USDC. The cashier converts the coin into the currency of your balance, so IQ Option does not hold crypto for you. Withdrawals are less clear. IQ Option’s official table lists six coins for withdrawals, never Bitcoin, but the withdrawal page of our Brazilian account listed Bitcoin as well, at 1 to 24 hours. This guide shows the deposit steps, then what each source says about withdrawals and what that means for you.
Quick answer
- Deposits: seven coins, the same in the cashier of all 13 accounts we checked: Bitcoin, Ethereum (ERC-20), Litecoin, XRP, Cardano, Tether (USDT, TRC20) and USDC (BNB Smart Chain), each listed at 5–60 minutes.
- Converted on arrival: the cashier says the cryptocurrency is converted to the currency of your balance, so you do not hold coins on IQ Option.
- Withdrawals, official table: six coins in 12 countries and seven in Vietnam (with BNB), never Bitcoin, from $12 (€10, £10) listed at 1–24 hours.
- Withdrawals, our Brazilian account’s page: seven coins, including Bitcoin (BTC), at 1–24 hours. We could not open the form with an empty balance.
- Bitcoin deposit amount: from R$ 55 on our Brazilian account; the form says the wallet address can take any amount equal to or greater than $10.
- Fee: the first withdrawal of each calendar month is free, then 2%, at most $30 (R$ 125 in Brazil).
Does IQ Option accept crypto?
The cashier lists the crypto methods in their own block, “Crypto deposit”, with the note that the selected cryptocurrency is converted to the currency of your balance. We read the block on 13 accounts, each registered in a different country, and it listed the same seven coins on all of them, each at 5 to 60 minutes. The withdrawal side is in IQ Option’s official table, which shows one row per method for the country of the account. This is what both said on 4 and 5 October 2026:
| Country | Cashier, deposits | Official table, withdrawals | Minimum crypto withdrawal in the table |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brazil | 7 coins | 6 coins, no Bitcoin | R$ 72 ($12) |
| Nigeria | 7 coins | 6 coins, no Bitcoin | ₦15,500 ($12) |
| Malaysia | 7 coins | 6 coins, no Bitcoin | RM 50 ($12) |
| Thailand | 7 coins | 6 coins, no Bitcoin | ฿378 ($12) |
| Philippines | 7 coins | 6 coins, no Bitcoin | ₱700 ($12) |
| South Africa | 7 coins | 6 coins, no Bitcoin | R214 ($12) |
| Colombia | 7 coins | 6 coins, no Bitcoin | COL$ 49,245–49,251 ($12) |
| Vietnam | 7 coins | 7 coins (adds BNB), no Bitcoin | 300,000 â‚« ($12) |
| United Arab Emirates | 7 coins | 6 coins, no Bitcoin | AED 43 ($12) |
| Mexico | 7 coins | 6 coins, no Bitcoin | 227 MXN ($12) |
| Peru | 7 coins | 6 coins, no Bitcoin | S/ 43 ($12) |
| Chile | 7 coins | 6 coins, no Bitcoin | CLP 10,963–10,964 ($12) |
| Argentina | 7 coins | 6 coins, no Bitcoin | $12 (€10, £10) |
The seven deposit coins are Bitcoin (BTC), Cardano (ADA), Ethereum (ETH) on ERC-20, Litecoin (LTC), XRP, Tether (USDT) on TRC20 and USDC on the BNB Smart Chain. The six withdrawal coins are the same without Bitcoin. Vietnam’s table adds Binance Coin (BNB). The minimum is $12, or €10 or £10, in every country; the local figure depends on the exchange rate in the table.
How to make an IQ Option Bitcoin deposit (October 2026)
We followed the steps on a Practice account registered in Brazil that had never made a deposit, and stopped before the last two actions. The numbers in each screenshot show where to click, in order.
Step 1: Click Deposit
In the traderoom, click the green Deposit button at the top right, next to your balance (1).
Step 2: Choose “Top up your account”
The Make a Deposit window offers the free Practice account and your real account. Refill to $10,000 only refills the Practice account with virtual money. To deposit real money, click Top up your account (1).
Step 3: Choose the coin
The cashier shows the crypto block under the recommended methods. Read the note (1), which says the coin is converted to the currency of your balance, then click the coin you want, here Bitcoin (BTC) (2). Three of the coins name the network you must use: Tether (USDT) on TRC20 (3), Ethereum on ERC-20 and USDC on the BNB Smart Chain (4). The coins were listed before our account’s first deposit.
Step 4: Choose your account currency
Before your first deposit the cashier asks for the currency of your real account. Our Brazilian account could choose BRL or USD. Select it (1) and click Next (2). IQ Option warns that you cannot change the currency after your first deposit.
Step 5: Enter the amount and read the note
Type the amount (1). The Bitcoin form started at R$ 55 on our account, and the field turns red below that: typing R$ 50 showed “From R$ 55 to R$ 1,000,000” and said the bonus needs R$ 52 or more. The welcome-bonus code was already applied; remove it with the × if you do not want a bonus. The note (2) says the wallet address on the next page can be used an unlimited number of times, and the amount can be any amount equal to or greater than $10. Tick the terms (3) and click Proceed to Payment (4). We stopped here and did not pay.
After you click Proceed to Payment, the next page shows the wallet address, according to IQ Option’s note. Send the coin from your own wallet on the network named in the method, for example TRC20 for Tether; a transfer on another network may never arrive.
You don’t see BTC as an option for an IQ Option Bitcoin deposit?
The cashier shows the methods of the country your account is registered in, and IQ Option’s deposits page notes that unless your account is fully verified, some countries may restrict certain methods. In October 2026 a new account saw all seven coins before its first deposit, so you no longer need an earlier deposit in regular money, as older guides said. If a coin is missing, check the search field at the top right of the cashier, then contact support through the platform chat or at support@iqoption.com.
Can you withdraw Bitcoin from IQ Option?
IQ Option’s two sources disagreed on 5 October 2026:
- The official withdrawal table lists six coins in 12 countries and seven in Vietnam, and none of them is Bitcoin. The screenshot below shows three of the rows (1), each at 1 to 24 hours (2).
- The withdrawal page of our Brazilian account listed seven coins, Bitcoin (BTC) second, each at 1 to 24 hours (1). We could not open a form, because the real account held R$ 0.00 and the page said “You cannot withdraw funds because your balance is 0”.
So the table does not prove that Bitcoin cannot be withdrawn, and the page does not prove that it can. If you need to withdraw Bitcoin, open your own withdrawal page (profile menu, then Withdraw Funds) and see which coins it lists for your account.
For the coins in the table, the minimum is $12 (€10, £10), R$ 72 on a Brazilian account, and every method is listed at 1 to 24 hours. As with every method, the first withdrawal of each calendar month is free; after that IQ Option charges 2%, at most $30 (R$ 125 in Brazil). The withdrawal guide has the steps and the verification rule: how to withdraw from IQ Option, and the Brazil guide.

Summary
IQ Option is not a crypto exchange. Crypto is a way to fund the account, and the cashier converts it into your account currency. Deposits in seven coins are listed everywhere we checked. For withdrawals, trust your own withdrawal page over any table, and read the network of each coin before you send or receive anything.
