Charles Schwab Corp is gearing up to enter the spot Bitcoin trading market, with CEO Rick Wurster suggesting a potential launch by April 2026.
Wurster noted a 400% increase in traffic to Schwab’s crypto web pages as a strong indicator of investor interest in digital assets, stating:
“With evolving regulations, we are optimistic about launching direct spot crypto trading. Our goal is to achieve this within 12 months, and we’re on the right track.”
Since becoming CEO in 2025, Wurster has shown a strong commitment to expanding Schwab’s digital asset offerings. In a November 2024 interview, he expressed the firm’s eagerness to offer direct crypto services, pending clearer regulatory guidance.
