Charles Schwab, which oversees roughly $12.6 trillion in client assets, has introduced 24/7 trading for select crypto futures on its thinkorswim platforms, enabling near-continuous access to major digital asset contracts including Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and Ripple. This marks a key expansion of Schwab’s derivatives offering into always-on crypto markets.
Alongside the crypto update, Schwab rolled out a series of enhancements across its trading platforms. Improvements include expected price range data for marginable securities on Schwab.com, expanded dividend reinvestment functionality on Schwab Mobile, and new tools across thinkorswim that improve options visibility, order transparency, and fixed-income position views.
Schwab also broadened fractional investing, extending it to most US stocks and ETFs with a $1 minimum. The update allows clients to invest by dollar value rather than share count, streamlining access and increasing flexibility for both new and experienced investors.
Schwab eyes mid-2027 debut for advisor crypto custody and trading
Schwab is targeting a 2027 launch for crypto spot trading on its custody platform for financial advisors, according to Jalina Kerr, the firm’s head of advisor experience.
The offering remains under development and is expected to arrive around mid-2027, though exact timing has yet to be finalized due to the unique regulatory and operational complexities associated with digital assets.
Unlike traditional securities, crypto requires specialized considerations around custody, transfers, account funding, and movement of assets, making implementation more complex than standard brokerage products, according to Kerr.
