Комиссия по ценным бумагам и биржам США (SEC) опубликовала свои ответы на запросы по "Novel ETFs", которые могут держать криптоактивы или использовать нестандартные стратегии. Разногласия сосредоточены на том, должны ли документы, поданные на регистрацию, оставаться открытыми до начала торговли фондом и как быстро должен проходить процесс проверки. Управляющая компания криптоактивами Grayscale и организация по криптополитике Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) поддерживают установление опционального периода конфиденциальной подачи, чтобы уменьшить количество конкурентов, подающих аналогичные документы.Charles Schwab выступает против полной конфиденциальности и предлагает как минимум за 75 дней до начала торговли публиковать документы. Grayscale требует от SEC ответа в течение 45 дней, CCI настаивает на том, что процесс конфиденциальности не должен продлевать автоматическое вступление в силу или сроки проверки. Венчурная компания Andreessen Horowitz (A16z) поддерживает сокращение времени проверки, но подчеркивает, что не следует снижать уровень проверки; торговая компания Jane Street считает, что ускорение процесса может привести к снижению качества продукта, конкурентоспособности и ликвидности.В США в настоящее время существует 174 ETF, связанных с криптоактивами, ETF iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) от BlackRock управляет активами примерно на 61 миллиард долларов, что составляет около 38% от общего объема активов соответствующих ETF. SEC решит, будут ли изменены условия конфиденциальности подачи и скорость проверки.

Сообщение ChainCatcher, финансовый гигант Charles Schwab в четверг заявил, что планирует в ближайшие месяцы добавить Solana, Avalanche и Chainlink на свою платформу для торговли криптовалютами, расширяя свои возможности за пределами биткойна и эфира, но не указал конкретные даты запуска. Это нововведение произошло примерно через три месяца после того, как Charles Schwab предложил некоторым розничным клиентам прямую торговлю биткойном и эфиром; ранее клиенты могли получить доступ к криптоактивам только через торговые продукты и акции компаний, таких как Coinbase и Strategy, не имея возможности напрямую покупать криптовалюту.Директор по цифровым активам Charles Schwab Джо Вьетри заявил, что это расширение предоставит клиентам больше возможностей для распределения цифровых активов. Solana ориентирована на быстрые и недорогие транзакции, Avalanche поддерживает компании и разработчиков в создании настраиваемых блокчейнов, а Chainlink соединяет блокчейны с внешней информацией, предоставляя данные, такие как цены на активы, для смарт-контрактов. Клиенты могут покупать и продавать эти криптовалюты на официальном сайте, в мобильном приложении и на платформе thinkorswim, за каждую сделку взимается комиссия в размере 75 базисных пунктов (0,75%).

Сообщение ChainCatcher, Charles Schwab объявил о планах в течение ближайших месяцев добавить торговые услуги для Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX) и Chainlink (LINK) на свою платформу Schwab Crypto.Schwab Crypto начал предлагать клиентам услуги с мая 2026 года и в настоящее время поддерживает прямую торговлю биткойнами и эфириумом. Charles Schwab заявил, что в дальнейшем будет постепенно добавлять больше криптовалют и цифровых активов.

Сообщение ChainCatcher, финансовый гигант Charles Schwab объявил о запуске прямой торговли биткойнами и эфириумом для примерно 40 миллионов брокерских счетов. Продукт называется Schwab Crypto и охватывает 48 штатов США (исключая штат Нью-Йорк и Луизиану), комиссия за сделки составляет 0,75%, управляется Charles Schwab Premier Bank и Paxos.Руководитель цифровых активов Charles Schwab Джо Вьетри заявил, что компания стремится стать предпочтительной платформой для розничных инвесторов, желающих инвестировать в цифровые активы, и поддерживает пользователей в торговле криптоактивами и другими инвестиционными инструментами благодаря своим услугам, образованию и исследовательским преимуществам. Компания также сохраняет предупреждение о рисках, заявляя, что даже если биткойн или эфириум составляют всего 1% до 3% портфеля, это может оказать значительное влияние, и оба актива в прошлых циклах падали более чем на 70%.

Сообщение ChainCatcher, согласно отчету газеты «Уолл-стрит Джорнал», компания Charles Schwab сотрудничает с Чикагской биржей опционов, планируя запустить бинарные опционы на индекс S&P 500, позволяя клиентам делать ставки "да или нет" на производительность индекса.Эти контракты немного отличаются от фьючерсных контрактов, предлагаемых такими платформами, как Kalshi и Polymarket, но по сути являются бинарными опционами: если цена закрытия индекса выше или ниже целевой цены, выплачивается фиксированная сумма наличными, в противном случае сумма обнуляется. Компания Charles Schwab также планирует одновременно запустить функцию "Plus Zone" от Cboe, которая позволит получать частичную выплату, даже если направление прогноза было правильным, но целевая цена не была точно достигнута.Генеральный директор Charles Schwab Рик Вурстер ранее критиковал контракты на спортивные или развлекательные события за размывание инвестиционных границ, но в то же время заявил, что если рынок прогнозов станет "необходимым конкурентным продуктом" для брокеров, компания также рассмотрит возможность запуска соответствующих продуктов. Запускаемые контракты будут строго ограничены событиями в финансовой сфере с проверяемыми результатами и не будут касаться нефинансовых событий, таких как чемпионат мира или Оскар.

According to CoinDesk, Jim Ferraioli, Director of Digital Asset Research at Charles Schwab, stated that the recent weakness in Bitcoin is not due to a decline in institutional demand or Michael Saylor selling Bitcoin, but rather it is losing its position as the market's dominant momentum trading asset.He pointed out that crypto investors have traditionally followed momentum, and currently, momentum has left the crypto space. Funds are flowing into hot narratives such as AI-related stocks and IPOs, with SpaceX's IPO potentially valued at $1.8 trillion, and a number of other IPOs collectively raising over $200 billion, drawing liquidity away from the crypto market. Crypto traders are also speculating on pre-IPO stocks through synthetic derivative contracts on DEXs like Hyperliquid.Ferraioli downplayed the impact of Strategy selling 32 Bitcoins, believing it merely provided a convenient narrative for a broader trend that has already occurred. He noted that while Bitcoin ETFs have expanded access channels, this asset class is still primarily dominated by retail and momentum traders. Summer has historically been a season of weakness for Bitcoin, and there is currently a lack of buying reasons as investors have other options.

According to Citywire, Jalina Kerr, head of advisor experience at Charles Schwab, stated that the company plans to launch cryptocurrency spot trading features for advisors on its custody platform by 2027.

Charles Schwab has already introduced Bitcoin and Ethereum spot trading to retail clients this year.Kerr pointed out that digital assets are not uniformly regulated like other brokerage and securities products, and careful consideration is needed from fund deposits to withdrawals. She mentioned that advisors currently prefer to allocate crypto assets for clients through Charles Schwab's exchange-traded products, but interest in spot trading has recently increased. Charles Schwab's competitor, Fidelity, is currently offering cryptocurrency custody and trading solutions for wealth management managers.

According to BBX data, based on official market announcements and corporate regulatory documents, the latest developments in the compliance infrastructure of global brokerage giants and the financial strategies of mining companies are as follows:Charles Schwab clarifies the spot trading timetable: The Charles Schwab Corporation (NYSE: $SCHW) President and CEO Rick Wurster officially confirmed in a letter to shareholders this Monday that Charles Schwab will launch spot trading services for Bitcoin and Ethereum in the first half of 2026. The plan will undergo a limited rollout in the second quarter (Q2), followed by a full expansion to its large customer base.CME derivatives compliance expansion: CME Group Inc. (NASDAQ: $CME) announced that, given the record average daily nominal trading volume of $8 billion for its crypto derivatives in March this year, the company has decided to further enhance its crypto strategy by officially launching futures contracts for Avalanche (AVAX) and Sui (SUI) on May 4, including standard and micro versions.Core Scientific plans to fully liquidate Bitcoin reserves: Core Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ: $CORZ) in its latest 10-K annual and quarterly regulatory filings provided Wall Street with extremely clear guidance: during 2026, the company expects to "substantially monetize all" of its Bitcoin reserves to enhance liquidity and fund planned capital expenditures. This means the company will completely transform into a spot seller, liquidating its digital treasury to purchase the hardware needed for AI transformation.

Charles Schwab's latest research shows that even a 1% to 3% allocation of Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) in a portfolio can significantly impact overall risk characteristics.The study points out that both Bitcoin and Ethereum have historically experienced declines of over 70%, far exceeding the volatility levels of stocks or bonds, thus even small allocations can have a noticeable effect during market fluctuations. Charles Schwab proposes two methods for allocating crypto assets: 1. Traditional Portfolio Theory Method: Allocating based on expected returns, volatility, and correlation, but the assumptions about returns vary greatly; if the expected return is below 10%, even aggressive investors may find it difficult to support large allocations. 2. Risk Budgeting Method: Determining the proportion of crypto assets based on the risk one is willing to take, shifting the focus from returns to risk tolerance, but the volatility of crypto assets may still exceed expectations. Charles Schwab emphasizes that crypto assets are high-volatility assets and are not suitable for all investors. Investors should cautiously allocate based on their risk tolerance, investment horizon, and familiarity with the assets, while also being aware of risks such as liquidity, theft, and fraud.

The American brokerage giant Charles Schwab announced that in the first half of 2026, it will launch spot trading services for Bitcoin and Ethereum through its banking subsidiary, Charles Schwab Premier Bank, with the product named Schwab Crypto.

This signifies that major traditional Wall Street institutions are further embracing mainstream cryptocurrencies, and it is expected to bring a significant influx of traditional investor capital into the crypto market.

CEO Rick Wurster mentioned that the service is planned to begin limited testing in the second quarter of 2026 and will officially launch in the first half of the year.

According to Crowdfund Insider, Charles Schwab will soon offer cryptocurrency trading on its investment platform. The current strategy is to create a "super app" or "all-in-one platform." Cryptocurrency-native platforms like Coinbase have been the first to achieve this goal, while once-innovative online brokerages have struggled with this concept.The new Charles Schwab cryptocurrency account will initially offer trading in Bitcoin and Ethereum, gradually entering the cryptocurrency space. The company had previously provided cryptocurrency-themed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) after approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). From the outset, the Charles Schwab cryptocurrency account will be available in all states in the U.S. except New York and Louisiana, and the platform is developed in-house by the company.

The cryptocurrency trading platform EDX Markets, supported by Charles Schwab, Citadel Securities, and Fidelity, has applied for a national trust bank license from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).This license will allow EDX to provide services such as digital asset custody, asset management, and trade settlement, but will not include traditional banking activities like accepting deposits or making loans. EDX stated that obtaining this license will help it better serve institutional clients and gain a competitive advantage in the wave of institutionalization in the cryptocurrency industry. Recently, several cryptocurrency companies, including Ripple, Circle, BitGo, Paxos, and Fidelity Digital Assets, have also applied for similar licenses, indicating that the industry is accelerating its alignment with the regulated financial system.
