Charles Schwab, one of the world’s largest brokerage firms managing $11.9 trillion in client assets, is preparing to enter the spot cryptocurrency market. The firm confirmed it is on track to roll out direct Bitcoin and Ethereum trading for retail and institutional clients in the first half of 2026, expanding its digital-asset offering.
Schwab has opened a waitlist for its upcoming “Schwab Crypto” account. The account is designed to let users buy and sell Bitcoin and Ethereum directly through the Schwab platform.
The service will be offered via Charles Schwab Premier Bank, SSB, integrating crypto trading into the same environment where investors manage stocks and bonds.

Adding spot trading is presented as the next step in Schwab’s broader digital asset strategy.
