CEO Charles Schwab, Rick Wurster, expressed optimism about the outlook for Bitcoin in 2026, despite the recent downturn in the market. He believes that the macroeconomic environment is gradually becoming more favorable and that Schwab is preparing to launch spot cryptocurrency trading services, including Bitcoin, in the first half of 2026.

This plan reflects the growing interest of customers in digital assets and indicates a trend of major financial institutions expanding into the cryptocurrency space. If implemented, Schwab’s move could significantly boost the adoption of Bitcoin by both institutional and retail investors, thereby increasing Bitcoin’s influence in the traditional financial market.

In this context, Bitcoin is trading around 88,883 USD, with a market capitalization of approximately @E5@ 1.76 trillion USD. Although prices remain volatile and have decreased in the short term, analysts believe that the increasing involvement of financial institutions, along with advancements in legal and technological aspects, could lay the groundwork for a new wave of growth in the cryptocurrency market in the near future.
