Charles Schwab Expected To Launch Spot Bitcoin And Ethereum Trading This Quarter
Charles Schwab, one of the world's largest financial firms with over $12.2 trillion in assets under management, is expected to launch spot Bitcoin and Ethereum trading in the first half of 2026.
The firm has opened a waitlist for early access to its new "Schwab Crypto" account. A dedicated crypto page has gone live under its Investment Products section.
Only U.S. residents outside New York and Louisiana will be eligible at launch. Earlier, CEO Rick Wurster indicated a limited Q2 rollout with a broader expansion to follow.
