Charles Schwab to launch Bitcoin and Ethereum trading by June 2026

Charles Schwab plans to launch direct trading for Bitcoin and Ethereum by June 2026 through a new platform called Schwab Crypto. The financial services giant, which manages $12 trillion in client assets, will structure the service through Charles Schwab Premier Bank, limiting initial availability to exclude states with strict crypto regulations like New York and Louisiana. The move marks a strategic shift from Schwab's previous approach of offering crypto exposure through linked stocks, futures and exchange-traded products. By facilitating direct trading, the firm aims to capture transaction fees currently going to third-party providers. Market observers anticipate the launch will inject significant capital into cryptocurrency markets whilst intensifying competition with established exchanges like Coinbase and Robinhood. Schwab's entry could apply pricing pressure similar to its 2019 move eliminating stock trading commissions.

Fidelity and Schwab launch unsupervised teen brokerage accounts from age 13

Fidelity and Charles Schwab have launched brokerage accounts allowing teenagers as young as 13 to trade stocks and ETFs independently, without parental approval on individual transactions. Fidelity's Youth Account offers sole ownership, whilst Schwab's Teen Investor Account uses joint ownership but grants independent trading authority. The accounts capitalise on compound growth: $1,000 invested at age 13 with 10% annual returns grows to $142,043 by age 65, compared to $21,114 if invested at age 23. Parents retain monitoring capabilities but cannot supervise trades in real time. Critics warn that teenagers' impulsive nature and susceptibility to social media trends could foster speculation rather than disciplined investing. Whilst the accounts promise financial literacy through real-world experience, success depends heavily on teen maturity and continued parental involvement.

Since 2020, more than 100 companies have relocated to Texas, with 40 per cent coming from California. Eight of the 10 Fortune 500 companies that moved to Texas in the last six years originated from California. Companies cite Texas' tax breaks, talent pipelines and business-friendly regulations as key drivers. Austin has emerged as a tech hub, often called 'Silicon Hills', rivalling California's Silicon Valley. Notable relocations include Charles Schwab moving from San Francisco to Westlake in 2019, Oracle shifting from Redwood City to Austin in 2020, and CBRE relocating from Los Angeles to Dallas in 2020. Hewlett Packard Enterprise moved from San Jose to Spring in 2020, whilst AECOM transferred from Los Angeles to Dallas in 2021. California continues to face the steepest net losses as Texas reshapes the corporate landscape.
