BlockBeats News, April 6th. U.S. brokerage giant Charles Schwab announced that it will launch Bitcoin and Ethereum spot trading services in the first half of 2026 through its banking subsidiary Charles Schwab Premier Bank, under the product name Schwab Crypto. A company spokesperson confirmed that it is currently "progressing as planned," and customers can now subscribe to early access on the official website.With nearly $12 trillion in client assets under management, Charles Schwab is shifting from only offering indirect products such as crypto ETFs and futures to actively supporting direct buying, selling, and holding of BTC and ETH. This move meets the needs of customers who want to manage digital assets alongside traditional investments like stocks and bonds. This marks a further embrace of mainstream cryptocurrency by traditional Wall Street institutions, and is expected to bring a significant influx of traditional investor funds into the crypto market.
