Schwab’s $12 Trillion Walks Through the Door
Just got off the phone with my dad and told him about this and even he let out a “holy [expletive]” on this news.
Charles Schwab one of America’s largest brokerages with 38.9 million active accounts and $12.22 trillion in client assets is launching direct spot Bitcoin trading through a new product called Schwab Crypto.
They have a wait list right now and the phased rollout will start in Q2 of this year.
Now this isn’t Schwab offering a Bitcoin ETF either like IBIT.
This is Schwab offering actual Bitcoin, full on Satoshi’s sitting in retirement and trading accounts.
CEO Rick Wurster said it back in March. Bitcoin is now a “matured mainstream asset.”
In 2019 Schwab called crypto “purely speculative”.
That’s a lot of development done over those 7 years and almost 2 cycles at this point.
PLUS Schwab’s clients already hold roughly 20% of the entire global crypto ETP market which was before they have direct access and the friction is gone.
People will be able to buy Bitcoin and their Apple stock at the same time, just as easily.

Bitcoin Stopped Following the Fed. It’s Leading Now.
For years, the playbook was simple.
Fed raises rates... Bitcoin drops. Fed cuts rates... Bitcoin pumps.
There may be evidence that, that particular playbook is done for.
Binance Research published a report on April 5th where they analyzed 41 central banks worldwide using their Global Easing Breadth Index where it measures whether banks are easing monetary policy aka Printing more money or tightening aka raising rates.
What they found is a complete structural reversal.
Before spot Bitcoin ETFs were approved in January 2024, Bitcoin’s correlation with global monetary easing was a modest positive: +0.21. So it roughly followed central bank cycles with a lag of several months and that’s how the retail Bitcoin markets played it.
But now with the ETF approval and use the correlation has flipped to -0.778.
So those numbers may seem relatively small but no, in fact that’s a colossal change. A damn inversion.
Bitcoin went from lagging indicator to leading indicator.
Institutional capital now positions six to twelve months before the Fed actually moves.
And the reason is all the institutions that are buying using the ETF’s.
There’s a lot more sophisticated insitutional money in Bitcoin because of the ETF’s and these firms don’t react to headlines.
They also have entire departments, full of researchers and a heck of a lot of government ties as well that gives them an edge that retail traders like you and me simply don’t have.
This all means that first don’t react to headlines, in fact they position ahead of them. It’s a classic “Buy the rumor, sell the news” scenario.
As Binance Research put it: “BTC may have evolved from a macro ‘lagging receiver’ to a ‘leading pricer.’”
What does that mean for the $1M thesis? It means Bitcoin is no longer just a bet on loose money. It’s becoming an expression of what sophisticated capital expresses its view on global monetary conditions.
