Big moves happening in traditional finance! Charles Schwab, managing a massive $12 trillion in assets, just announced they're rolling out Bitcoin and Ethereum trading for their clients. The launch window? Early 2026.

This is huge for mainstream crypto adoption. When one of the largest brokerage firms in the States starts offering direct crypto access, it signals where the market's headed. Retail investors on their platform will finally get seamless exposure to BTC and ETH without jumping through hoops.

The timing aligns with growing institutional interest post-ETF approvals. Schwab's entry could push other legacy financial players to accelerate their crypto offerings. Worth watching how this impacts overall market liquidity and retail participation rates once it goes live.

BTC-0.01%

ETH0.45%

Wait, wait, wait, is Schwab really going to list BTC? Now even traditional finance can't sit still, haha.

Damn, Schwab is really coming. You'll be able to trade BTC as early as early 2026. Traditional finance is finally admitting defeat.

It should be pointed out that this is just another self-rescue performance by Wall Street. Wait, let me use on-chain data to demonstrate why the year 2026 is by no means a coincidence—it happens to be the predicted cycle bottom following Bitcoin’s fourth halving. It’s clear that these Wall Street vultures have finally understood the essence of value storage described in Satoshi Nakamoto’s whitepaper. Once the $12 trillion asset allocation floodgates open... Let me say this: this marks the beginning of the fiat system’s compromise with decentralization.

The data shows that this wave can indeed drive up the market, but let's wait a bit longer, as the historical low hasn't arrived yet. The talk of 12 trillion in funds entering sounds exciting, but in reality, it won't go live until 2026. The volatility in the next two years could wipe out a lot of people. That said, if miners take too much in gas fees, it will eventually backfire. Be patient and wait for that moment.

Not until 2026? That’s such a long wait. But this move by Schwab is really bold—entering the market with a $12 trillion scale. Those institutions that are still on the sidelines should really be getting nervous.
