Charles Schwab said it will offer crypto accounts enabling customers to trade cryptocurrencies, a move CEO Rick Wurster previewed last month that would reach more than 46 million clients. The firm has not yet disclosed timing or full product details.
Charles Schwab plans to launch spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) trading this quarter, giving clients direct access to the tokens. The move marks a significant expansion of crypto services at a major traditional brokerage.
Charles Schwab has quietly rolled out Solana-linked regulated futures on its trading platform, letting clients take leveraged positions on SOL without owning the token. The move brings crypto derivatives further into mainstream brokerage access under regulated oversight.
