Charles Schwab Corp CEO Rick Wurster is reportedly eyeing an April 2026 launch 
window to provide spot Bitcoin (BTC) trading services to Schwab clients.
According to RIABiz, Wurster cited a 400% increase in traffic to Schwab&#8217;s 
crypto website as evidence of investor interest in digital assets. The CEO 
predicted:
&gt; &#8220;Our expectation is that with the changing regulatory environment, we are 
&gt; hopeful and likely to be able to launch direct spot crypto. Our goal is to 
&gt; do that in the next 12 months, and we are on a great path to be able to do 
&gt; that.&#8221;
The Schwab CEO&#8217;s comments reflect the growing trend of traditional financial 
(TradFi) institutions adopting crypto products and offering services that blur 
the line between the digital asset world and TradFi.

## Schwab makes crypto moves under new CEO
Rick Wurster assumed the helm at Schwab in 2025, and in a November 2024 Yahoo 
Finance interview, said the company was happy to provide services to clients 
who want to trade digital assets.
At the time, Wurster told the financial news outlet that Schwab wanted to 
offer crypto directly to its clients but was waiting for a positive regulatory 
catalyst.
Following the re-election of Donald Trump in the United States, Wurster said 
the financial services company anticipated a much better regulatory 
environment to expand its digital asset services.
The Schwab CEO previously said he did not own any cryptocurrency, adding that 
he felt &#8220;silly&#8221; for not investing in the nascent asset class as it has 
continued to provide outsized investment gains.

In January 2025, Charles Schwab partnered with the Trump Media and Technology 
Group (TMTG) to provide customized exchange-traded funds and cryptocurrency 
services for the upcoming &#8220;Truth.Fi&#8221; service.
Truth.Fi will encompass digital assets and traditional financial services as a 
proposed alternative to the legacy banking system.
TMTG CEO, and White House official, Devin Nunes said the goal of TMTG is to 
provide an option for individuals worried about unfair banking practices and 
&#8220;cancellation, censorship, debanking, and privacy violations committed by big 
tech and woke corporations.&#8221;

Charles Schwab CEO eyes spot Bitcoin trading by April 2026

The Chainlink price has not seen a lot of action in recent weeks, oscillating 
between the $12 and $13 levels since the start of April. This inactivity 
suggests that the altcoin is yet to recover from its uninspiring run in the 
first quarter of 2025. With the way the LINK price is currently set up, the 
altcoin does not seem likely to witness a lot of action in the short term. 
However, a prominent crypto analyst on X has identified important levels that 
could be pivotal in the future trajectory of the Chainlink price. Where Is 
LINK’s Next Major Resistance? Popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez took to the 
X platform to offer on-chain insights into the current setup of the Chainlink 
price. While the LINK price continues to move within the $12 &#8211; $13 
consolidation range at the moment, certain on-chain levels could be critical 
to its long-term journey. Related Reading: Solana Price Enters Consolidation 
Trend Above $130 That Could End In A Breakout This analysis is based on the 
average cost basis of several Chainlink investors. For context, cost-basis 
analysis evaluates the capacity of a level to serve as support or resistance, 
depending on the total amount of coins last acquired by investors at that 
price level. As observed in the chart above, the size of the circle represents 
the amount of LINK tokens purchased within each price region and its 
corresponding strength. The bigger the dot, the higher the number of tokens, 
and the stronger the support or resistance; the green dots refer to support as 
they are beneath the current price, while the red dots refer to resistance as 
they are above the current price. Data from IntoTheBlock shows that the 
Chainlink price has key support around the $12.28 – $12.62 region, where 
11,130 addresses purchased 26.55 million LINK tokens (worth $331.07 million at 
an average price of $12.47). This region would act as an on-chain support, as 
investors with their cost basis around the level would likely defend their 
positions by buying more tokens, thereby cushioning the LINK price. Martinez 
added that the altcoin faces major resistance around the $14.19 – $14.58 zone, 
where 20,930 investors acquired 21.19 million LINK tokens (worth $304.5 
million at an average price of $14.37). Investors who bought tokens around 
this level are likely to sell if the Chainlink price returns around their cost 
basis, which would dampen the token’s bullish momentum and probably halt its 
upward movement. As mentioned earlier, these support and resistance levels 
could be pivotal to LINK’s trajectory over the next few weeks. Specifically, 
losing the $12.28 support could see LINK fall below $11, as there is no 
significant cushion beneath it. Chainlink Price At A Glance As of this 
writing, the price of LINK stands at around $12.58, reflecting a mere 1% jump 
in the past 24 hours. Related Reading: BONK Symmetrical Triangle Squeeze: Is A

Brandon Ferrick, general counsel at Douro Labs, said that the Securities and 
Exchange Commission&#8217;s (SEC) openness to public input on crypto policy and 
their roundtable discussions are positive signs that the crypto industry is 
not currently experiencing regulatory capture.
In an interview with Cointelegraph, Ferrick identified signs of regulatory 
capture including, a public-to-private sector revolving door of employees, the 
same roster of attendees at regulatory events, and special treatment given to 
certain crypto projects. However, Ferrick added:
&gt; &#8220;The reason why I am not worried today is that a lot of what you&#8217;re seeing 
&gt; from the regulatory side, like the SEC, for example, is totally open, 
&gt; public, and there are available opportunities to have conversations with the 
&gt; regulators about changing or thinking about the regulatory structures.&#8221;
&#8220;[The SEC] has a public portal where you can just submit written commentary on 
your thoughts for the crypto regulatory environment, and you can schedule 
meetings with them,&#8221; the attorney continued.

As the crypto industry becomes more integrated with the traditional financial 
system and engages state regulators more, some analysts and executives are 
worried that the industry is experiencing regulatory capture that will skew 
incentives and politicize the burgeoning crypto sector.

## SEC hosts several roundtable discussions on crypto policy
The SEC has hosted several crypto roundtable discussions and panels, with more 
slated in the coming months &#8212; a sharp contrast from the agency&#8217;s regulation- 
by-enforcement approach under former SEC chairman Gary Gensler.
On March 21, the regulatory agency hosted its first crypto roundtable, which 
featured crypto industry executives, SEC officials, and even opponents of the 
crypto industry.
Former SEC official John Reed Stark was highly critical of the industry and 
opposed comprehensive regulatory reform, arguing that digital assets must 
comply with existing securities laws.

roundtable. Source: __SEC_
The SEC&#8217;s April 11 roundtable focused on trading rules and included a 
different set of panelists, including representatives from Uniswap and 
Coinbase.
The next SEC panel will occur on April 25 and focus on establishing guidelines 
for crypto custodians and other firms holding crypto on behalf of customers.
