Charles Schwab just launched 24/7 Bitcoin futures trading. $12.6 trillion in assets just opened the door to crypto around the clock.
Not a crypto native exchange. Not a startup.
Charles Schwab.
The firm that manages more money than the entire GDP of Japan just told its millions of clients: you can now trade Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Ripple futures 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Every single day. No closing bell. No waiting for Monday morning.
Think about who uses Schwab.
Retirees. Pension managers. Long-term investors. The exact people the financial establishment said would never touch crypto.
They just got direct access through one of the most trusted and regulated platforms in American finance.
This is not a crypto exchange adding a new token.
This is Main Street America getting 24/7 access to digital asset futures through the same platform they use to manage their life savings.
The SEC puts crypto in its 5-year strategic plan. BlackRock runs a Bitcoin ETF. And now Schwab opens round the clock futures trading.
The institutionalization of crypto is not coming.
It is here.
Every week another wall between traditional finance and digital assets comes down.
And most people are still not paying attention.
