Schwab plans spot bitcoin, ether trading launch in first half of 2026
Charles Schwab plans to launch spot cryptocurrency trading for bitcoin and ether in the first half of 2026. The service will be offered through its Charles Schwab Premier Bank unit, allowing clients to buy and sell the two largest cryptocurrencies alongside their traditional investments.
Charles Schwab is moving closer to direct crypto trading. The firm has opened a waitlist for its new Schwab Crypto account, which will let clients buy and sell bitcoin and ether. The service will be offered via Charles Schwab Premier Bank. Schwab has $11.9 trillion in client assets, which could give it an edge in the market. The firm already allows clients to invest in ETFs linked to cryptocurrencies and trade bitcoin futures. The new service is expected to launch in the first half of 2026.
