“We are on the right path to launch direct spot crypto trading thanks to a more favorable regulatory environment,” Wurster said. A 400% increase in traffic to Schwab’s crypto portal highlights the surge in investor interest in digital assets.
Trump Era Regulation Boosts Schwab’s Crypto Vision
Under new leadership from Rick Wurster, Schwab has taken a more proactive stance toward digital assets. The re-election of Donald Trump has renewed hopes for a friendlier regulatory atmosphere to grow crypto services.
In January 2025, Schwab partnered with Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) to develop “Truth.Fi”, a platform designed to merge digital assets and traditional finance. This platform will offer alternatives to conventional banking while promoting financial freedom and privacy.
Wurster, who once admitted to owning no cryptocurrency and feeling “silly” about it, now leads one of the most notable transitions from TradFi to crypto integration — signaling a major shift in institutional adoption.
