⚡ The brokerage encrypted 40 million accounts. The fee is the same as an index fund.

May 13. Schwab did something. No fanfare. It enabled spot BTC and ETH trading for nearly 40 million retail accounts.

Today Forbes just brought it up: this might be the most important crypto launch of 2026.

The key is pricing. 75 basis points. 0.75%. The same as an index fund. It’s not charged by the number of trades—it’s sold to you based on how you allocate assets.

Charles Schwab. One of the largest brokerage firms in the U.S. Now, there are two extra buttons directly in everyday people’s accounts.

BTC $63,411. ETH $1,878. Down about 1% each today. The market is still that same stagnant pool.

But the track is changing. For 40 million accounts—not ETFs, not institutional managed accounts—this is the first time retail accounts can directly hold BTC.

Before, they said institutions had to wait for ETFs. Now the broker is jumping in directly. Who still calls this a fringe asset?
