The rollout of this service will occur in phases, with a client waitlist already in place. Initially, the focus will be on Bitcoin and Ethereum, allowing brokerage clients to engage directly with these cryptocurrencies.
As of now, shares of Charles Schwab are trading at $92.99, reflecting a 34.4% return over the past year and an impressive 87.9% return over the last three years. This strategic move into the cryptocurrency market aligns with growing investor interest in digital assets.
