Charles Schwab is preparing to launch crypto spot trading, with a target launch date of April 2026. CEO Rick Wurster confirmed that clients may soon be able to buy and sell Bitcoin through Schwab accounts.
With rising demand, Schwab views crypto spot trading as crucial to meeting clients’ interest in digital assets. The industry is showing increasing signs of crypto adoption as it embraces the applications of cryptocurrencies.
Schwab’s Growing Interest in Crypto
The new CEO of Charles Schwab, Rick Wurster, entered the crypto market during his first year of leadership. In his November 2024 interview with Yahoo Finance, Wurster said he’s interested in digital asset services. However, he noted Schwab needed clearer regulations before moving forward.
“We’d also like to directly offer crypto … we’ve been waiting for a change in the regulatory environment in order to do that, and we’re confident that we think that will come in short order,” says incoming Charles Schwab CEO Rick Wurster as bitcoin hits a new all-time high. pic.twitter.com/A7JKLPXxbp

Donald Trump’s possible second term as U.S. president in 2025 has influenced Wurster’s outlook. He believes new crypto spot trading regulations are likely forthcoming, so he sees now as a good time to increase his investment.
Big Partnerships
Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) initiated a business partnership with Schwab when it started Truth.Fi in 2025. The company aims to integrate cryptocurrency systems into its traditional banking operations. The platform serves people who wish to shift their banking operations from conventional financial institutions. Schwab will help power that vision with custom exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and crypto services.
