backdoor IRA stock transfer

can I transfer stocks instead of cash from traditional IRA to Roth IRA for backdoor conversion. Or it should be only cash transfer?



Either way. However, after making the non deductible contribution, the conversion should immediately follow, so it is cleaner when working with IRA basis to convert the cash contribution right away, then purchase your investments in the Roth IRA.
