The new platform is designed to let them trade <span>crypto<\/span> alongside other holdings without switching firms.<\/p>\n<p>Schwab surveyed 460 current and prospective <span>crypto<\/span> investors between July and September 2025. Three factors stood out when choosing a <span>crypto<\/span> trading firm: low and transparent pricing, brand familiarity, and confidence that assets would be kept secure.<\/p>\n<p>At launch, Schwab <span>Crypto<\/span> will support <span>bitcoin<\/span> and ethereum trading.
