Breaking: Charles Schwab is finally jumping into crypto.
The financial giant managing 10 trillion in assets just announced they're rolling out spot Bitcoin and Ethereum trading for clients. Launch window? Early 2026, kicking off with a pilot program first.
This isn't some random fintech startup—we're talking about one of the biggest traditional finance players opening the doors to direct crypto exposure for their massive client base. No ETFs, no derivatives. Actual spot trading.
The timeline puts them about a year out, which probably means regulatory boxes are getting checked and infrastructure is being built. But the fact they've publicly committed to a date tells you something: institutional adoption isn't slowing down, it's just getting started.

Another story of a traditional finance giant entering the scene—the cycle remains the same, only the storyteller has changed.

Wait, is Charles Schwab really going to offer spot trading directly? Not some derivative gimmick? Traditional finance really can't sit still anymore.

Hmm...2026? That's quite a long wait. Feels like we'll be scrambling to line up and open accounts again.
