Charles Schwab has formally introduced straight spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) trading across its retail brokerage network in one of the most important mainstream cryptocurrency integrations to far. Schwab's roughly 39.8 million active accounts and $13.1 trillion in assets will get digital asset trading straight alongside traditional investments after an initial phased rollout to qualified U.S. customers in May 2026. Paxos carries out trades held under care by Charles Schwab Premier Bank, SSB, therefore needing a special "Schwab Crypto" account available via Schwab.com, Schwab Mobile, and the thinkorswim platform.
The action gives mainstream retail investors a controlled, low-friction portal to directly expose the top two digital assets—almost 75% of the total crypto market capitalization. Schwab directly challenges conventional crypto-native exchanges like Coinbase and Robinhood by undercutting typical retail trading expenses with a flat charge of 0.75% (75 basis points) per transaction and no added spread. Though not initially supported, external wallet transfers and deposits help Schwab's current range of crypto ETFs for consumers looking for direct asset ownership inside a familiar banking system.
Schwab's debut suggests a deliberate change in institutional and retail asset management from simple commercial access, therefore suggesting cryptocurrencies are becoming a primary portfolio component. Through using its banking division and working with a federal-regulated trust company, Schwab negotiates difficult U.S. banking and securities regulations while providing reliable supervision. Looking ahead, the company has said that it might add more digital assets, outside transfer options, and more institution advising channels.
