Charles Schwab completed the full retail rollout of its crypto trading platform on October 16, 2026. Eligible clients can now trade Bitcoin and Ether directly within their Schwab accounts at a 0.75% fee per trade. The service operates through Schwab's Premier Bank, with Paxos providing custody and execution support.

Schwab's crypto research team released bullish commentary on October 15, citing strong Bitcoin fundamentals and supportive market data. Analyst Adam Lynch highlighted nearly $60 billion in Bitcoin ETF inflows since early 2024, while Head of Crypto Research Jim Ferraioli noted Bitcoin's volatility has declined to approximately 40 from a prior range of 50-60. The team also reported Bitcoin's market cap at roughly $1.6 trillion and tokenized real-world assets at around $50 billion. Schwab plans to add more tokens to the platform by year-end.
