TechFlow News, April 4: According to CoinDesk, financial services giant Charles Schwab announced on April 4 that it will officially launch spot trading services for Bitcoin and Ethereum in the first half of 2026 through its subsidiary Charles Schwab Premier Bank. It has already opened a waitlist for its “Schwab Crypto” accounts, enabling customers to apply for early access.
The new account will allow users to simultaneously manage both crypto assets and traditional investment portfolios on the same platform, offering a unified account view encompassing stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies. Rick Wurster, CEO of Charles Schwab, stated last July that the firm would roll out crypto trading services “as soon as possible” in response to customer demand.
