Per Crowdfund Insider, Charles Schwab will soon launch cryptocurrency trading on its investment platform as part of its push to build a "super app" or "all-in-one platform." Crypto-native platforms like Coinbase have led the way in creating such all-in-one hubs, while once-forward-thinking online brokers have been hesitant to embrace the concept—for some, likely due to lengthy internal debates and countless memos. Schwab’s new crypto account will launch with Bitcoin and Ethereum trading, with plans to expand its digital asset offerings over time. The firm previously rolled out cryptocurrency-themed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) following approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). At launch, the crypto account will be accessible to customers in all U.S. states except New York and Louisiana, and the platform was built entirely in-house by Schwab.
