Data from last week indicate a shift in capital flows toward a short-term “risk-on” stance, with equity exchange-traded funds (ETFs) drawing strong net inflows globally while money moved away from defensive positioning into risk assets.

Charles Schwab CEO Rick Wurster announced plans to support prediction markets and Bitcoin/Ethereum spot trading, following recent U.S. regulatory moves that classify BTC and ETH as digital commodities. The announcement comes as Bitcoin and Ethereum markets show strong “YES” positioning on specific contract dates.
According to the article, the April 16 Bitcoin market is trading at “100% YES,” with Bitcoin’s price above $68,000 for April 16. The April 18 Bitcoin market is also at “100% YES.” For Ethereum, the April 16 market is reported at “100% YES.”
The article frames the regulatory classification as a key development that could improve conditions for institutional participation, potentially supporting higher prices as demand grows.
The article notes that Schwab manages more than $8 trillion in client assets entering crypto trading, which it says could change the calculus for institutional investors that have previously stayed on the sidelines.
It also cites trading activity and liquidity considerations for Bitcoin. The Bitcoin market is described as having $1.5 million in daily volume, while the article adds that it only takes $1,205 to move the price by 5 points—an indicator of thin liquidity and potential for volatility.
At “100% YES,” the article argues that betting on Bitcoin above $68,000 offers no payout upside on the referenced contract, shifting attention to whether Schwab’s entry could encourage other large brokerages to offer similar products in crypto and prediction markets.
The piece highlights that regulatory clarity combined with expanded retail access through a mainstream brokerage could help drive higher, sustained volume. It also points to the need to watch for Schwab’s formal announcements on launch timelines and whether competitors such as Fidelity or Vanguard respond with comparable offerings.
Finally, the article says institutional buying patterns in the weeks ahead will be an important signal for whether the move translates into real capital flows.
