Charles Schwab is set to launch direct spot trading for Bitcoin and Ether in the first half of 2026, making it accessible to its large pool of investor capital for the first time. Schwab CEO Rick Wurster confirmed the move, which will be operated through Charles Schwab Premier Bank, SSB. The rollout will be phased, starting with internal employee testing and then invited clients before full public availability. This move by Schwab, along with plans by other financial institutions like Morgan Stanley, could reshape the retail crypto trading market.
